In addition to comments by Stephen and Nina, here's my two cents worth of
comments and a couple of questions.<br><br>
In 0G1.1, footnote 5, 0G3.3, 0G7.2, and 0G8.2:<br>
Is it really necessary to have such a lengthy reference when there is a
"see" note to an Appendix -- e.g., "see Appendix G.
section G2"? <br>
Consider simplifying this to, e.g., "see Appendix G2". <br>
This would be consistent with 0A3 where it simply states "see Intro
9", not "see Introduction, section 9". Also, in the text
it doesn't say "see Area 0, section 0G3.3", but simply
"see 0G3.3". I believe the Appendix "see" notes still
would be clear in a more concise style.<br><br>
"On source" and "Transcription" and "On title
page" should be italicized in the following sections:<br>
0F2.1, 0G2.2, 0G2.3, 0G3.1, 0G3.3, 0G3.6, 0G3.7<br>
"On title page" should be italicized in:<br>
0G4.1 (Or should this also read: "On source"?)<br><br>
0A1: change AACR2 to AACR 2<br><br>
0A3: change "may either be" to "either may be" (which
then nicely parallels the following clause "... or may
be")<br>
0A3: change AACR2 to AACR 2<br><br>
0A4: change AACR2 to AACR 2<br><br>
0C1.2: change "see 7B3" to "see 7B3.1"<br><br>
0C2: delete periods from end of 'bullets', to correspond with practice
elsewhere (e.g., 0C3 and 0F1.1). (If you want to have punctuation there,
use a semi-colon -- or is this a style-sheet thing?)<br><br>
0G1.2: add "(see Appendix G2)" at end.<br>
I realize that it refers to Appendix G2 in the middle of 0G1.1, but if
one is checking specifically about symbols and not diacritics, it's easy
to miss the 'see' note.<br><br>
0G2: change AACR2 to AACR 2<br><br>
0G3.7: Consider moving '"Optional note: Clara ..." to the end
of the section, following "... note, if considered important"
which is where it fits as an example<br><br>
0G4.3: Footnote 7 could also apply to this instruction, as well as to
0G4.2 where it is linked. Can one use a footnote twice?<br><br>
0G8.2: Should there be a footnote about providing additional title access
if this occurs within the first five words and the marks of contraction
can be reproduced, similar to footnotes 4-10?<br><br>
Let me add my voice to those who already have expressed admiration and
much gratitude to the editors of DCRM(B). You've made an essential tool
clearer and even more useful. We are in your debt.<br>
