Glenn, <br>
<br>
The Bibliographic Services Committee of RBMS met at the ALA Midwinter
Meetings in San Diego and discussed some of the issues raised in the
recent webinar, "Cataloging Defensively: <span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When
to Input a New Record in the Age of DDR."</span><br>
<br>
Please find attached our proposal to protect all cataloging records
that have been created according to descriptive cataloging rules for
rare materials over the years (as coded in the 040 $e) from all
automated mergers.<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
Ann Copeland for the RBMS Bib Standards Committee<br>
