<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>On behalf of the group that
worked on the draft BSR for Rare Books, I’d like to respond to the points
Deborah has raised. The Task Group has taken some time to consider this,
particularly the issues associated with area four. This raises questions about
how to interpret the instructions for area four and points to an important discussion
for the DCRM community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>DCRM(B) rule 4A6 and its
explanatory footnote clearly separate the issues of how the roles of publisher
v. manufacturer were different in the hand press period than they were in the 19<sup>th</sup>
century and beyond. We believe the intention here is to allow for accurate
transcription of all permutations found in publisher/manufacturing statements.
Deborah’s statements are true for books of the hand-press era. The text
prepared for the 260 portion of the BSR for Rare Books took into account that
the majority of situations would fall into the possibility of recording either
publisher or printer in $a-b.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>However, our understanding of
rule 4A6 and its explanatory footnote is a broad interpretation that allows for
the possibility of an instance where “[S.l. : s.n.] ; <date> $e
(<place> : $f <printer>)” could exist. The scope of the BSR for
Rare Books does not exclude books printed after 1800. It is these later
materials, where only information related to printing is found on the item and
publication information is unknown, that call for such an allowance. As an
example, a 19<sup>th</sup> century or later book may have no publisher statement
and very small printed text in the colophon giving the name and location of the
stereotyping or collotyping. This constitutes an absence of true publication
information, and we believe that rule 4A6 and its footnote agree with the
rationale for recording this information in the $e-f in this instance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>With regard to the two notes in question
for the BSR for Rare Books, the MAP was modeled on the Books BSR. The Task
Group agrees that it would be appropriate to drop the 505 note from the MAP and
to add a note (Mandatory if Applicable) for transposition of transcribed text.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype","serif"'>Thank
you for the opportunity to comment on the BSR drafts. I've read over the BSR
for Rare Books and think it is a fine document, with only a couple of places
that still need refinement. (With contrite apologies to my RBMS colleagues for
not catching these while the BSR draft was still in the drafting stage.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype","serif"'>This
instruction to supply helpful information in subfields ‡e‡f‡g violates the
rules for area 4. See especially 4A6, which elaborates (in great detail!) the
relationships between publication/distribution and manufacture in the
hand-press era and how to treat them. The only time 260 ‡e‡f‡g may be used is
when an item 1) bears both a publisher, distributor, etc., statement and a
manufacturer statement, 2) the publisher is emphasized over the manufacturer,
and 3) the two statements are grammatically separable. (4A6.3.2.2) If an
item does not bear substantive information, the cataloger uses subfields ‡a‡b‡c
to supply whatever information can be had. I recommend dropping these three
subfields entirely from the BSR for Rare Books. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

text in the MAP makes it apparent that all notes required in DCRM(B) are also

believe to be as important as the source of the title proper and a lot more common:
any transposition of transcribed text is to be noted. (1B1.2 etc.) I recommend
adding this note to the MAP.</span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:
