don't always remove the previous institution's notes from the record when they
copy it for their own institution, the "collated & perfect" note might end
up being misleading in those cases. On the other hand, if the note begins with
"Folger copy" or the like, I suppose that removes that danger (except for the
occasional extremely unobservant patron).<BR><BR>Hope this doesn't sound too

<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite"><FONT face=Georgia>At ALA annual
this year, RBMS co-sponsored a program with MAGERT on library map
security. One of the speakers was Smiley's prosecuting attorney, who stated
that a catalog record that didn't mention imperfections wouldn't stand up in
court as evidence that it had no imperfections at the time it was cataloged;
a defense attorney would merely need to find a few examples of cataloging
that failed to mention existing imperfections at the time of cataloging.
<BR></FONT><BR><FONT face=Georgia>It occurred to me that for cataloging rare
materials, it might be worth considering incorporating the old "collated
& perfect" (sometimes abbreviated "c.&p.") note that booksellers and
collectors used to pencil into books or include in descriptions. I'm
imagining something like this, where a note on the state of the volume's
completeness would come at the front of all copy-specific
notes:<BR></FONT><BR><FONT face=Georgia>590 Folger copy: C.&p. DJL
