position paper on DCRM/RDA will provide specific talking points and issues for attendees to consider. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how RDA might affect rare materials cataloging now and in the future, with a specific eye towards its
possible effect on the DCRM suite of manuals. This discussion should aid in the establishment of a community consensus on specific recommendations for the future of cataloging with RDA and DCRM standards.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif"">Hello all:<br>
<br>
This email is regarding the inevitable transition to RDA on 31 March 2013.<br>
<br>
What is the status of DCRM and RDA?<br>
<br>
We are the only library at Brown which uses DCRM and it is becoming important to know about whether the conventions of spelled out unnumbered pages, no more bracketing and
<br>
the loss of sic are going or not. I'd like to hear from Deborah Leslie on this if I may and John Attig who have been working on this.<br>
<br>
In the past my library has ha a long tradition of being "out of the loop" with technical and standards issues and I don't want to be in that situation this time.<br>
So I am curious as to whether our time honored conventions of bracketing are going to be ripped away from us or whether thos of us who use DCRM are still wrangling with<br>
the RDA stands committees on this.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your help and feedback,<br>
~Allison Rich<br>
