<font size=3>The presence of the span of page numbers makes the meaning
of the note clear, to me at least. <br><br>
And the fact that rule 2B5.2 is specifically talking about situations
when you *don't* transcribe an edition statement ("If the
publication contains *only* a statement that refers to another edition
... do not transcribe the information as an edition statement and do not
supply an edition statement based on the information.") - this
implies the note isn't supporting an edition statement.<br><br>
LCRI 2.7B18. "Contents" has examples of this kind of informal
contents note:<br><br>
500 ## $a "Life cycle of the liver fluke": leaves 75-89.<br>
500 ## $a "Types of prayer wheels found in south central Tibet, by
Mei Lin": p. [310]-[375].<br><br>
And here is the example in our own DCRM(B) rule 7B16.1:<br><br>
"List of the author's unpublished poems": p. 151-158<br><br>
The meaning of the note is actually crucial to determining which
punctuation is correct. We can't have a blanket statement that anything
in quotes should always to be followed by a dash because it isn't true.
<br><br>
If this example is truly seen as problematic, then maybe we can deal with
it in the editorial comment? Something like this:<br><br>
<i>Optional note:</i> "Preface to the first edition": p.
5-7<br>
(<i>Editorial comment</i>: The publication is not the first edition; the
cataloger has opted to provide an informal contents note indicating the
publication contains the preface to the first edition)<br><br>

P.S. Randy is correct in his earlier posting that in a true quotation
note, the abbreviation for the single page number would be
upper-case.<br><br>

It seems to me that the deciding factor should not be the meaning of
the<br>
note, but the punctuation of the note. After quotation marks, can we
say<br>
(or imply via examples) that a dash rather than a colon is
appropriate?<br>

I think it is correct as it stands. It is an informal contents note,
not<br>
a quotation note. It is saying that on pages 5-7 you will find the
text<br>
called "Preface to the first edition." If it were a quotation,
it would<br>
give only a single page number and the punctuation would be as Alex<br>
suggests.<br><br>

I think you're right, Alex. I'll plan to replace the colon with a
dash<br>
unless I hear a reasoned objection.<br>

I second Will's comments, and add one more:<br><br>
The example in 2B5.2 reads:<br>
Optional note: "Preface to the first edition": p.
5-7<br><br>
Should the colon after the closing quotation mark be replaced by a<br>
double<br>
dash, following 7A4.2?<br><br>
