I have to agree with Richard. This evidently useful term appears to be news to the experienced rare materials catalogers here, including, perhaps, even you, Deborah (at least I got that impression from your first message)-if none of us had ever heard of it before this dcrm-l exchange, how can we expect users of the catalog to know what we are talking about?</blockquote>

That doesn't seem to me to be exactly what Deborah is talking about.</span></div>
