DCRM-Lers,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703430022-21082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since DCRM(B)'s
publication is imminent (yay!), Deborah, Manon, and I have been thinking about
DCRM-L and suggest a slight change of focus. We propose that the list now be
open to rare materials cataloging questions and discussions in general rather
than only specifically focussing on the rule revision process (though that
discussion will continue as necessary--we still have the other modules to
publish!). This has already started to happen a bit--we have from time to time
had people write in with cataloging questions. I think the three of us just
wanted to make clear that we think that is fine and hope we'll be able to use
the list to help folks with specific problems and promote rare materials
cataloging generally. We hope this change of focus will be welcome. The list
members are a great resource, and a narrowly tailored list devoted to
rare cataloging issues might be more useful to some than the rather free
wheeling range of topics that come up on the other rare materials related
lists.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
