two libraries at Brown--or at least one library and one
librarian--that use DCRM. I have inferred, from earlier
traffic on dcrm-l, that dcrm(b) will remain as is for the
foreseeable future, and that BSC is in no mad rush to produce
a fully RDA-complaint edition. My Head of Cataloging (a wise
and good person) suggests that I may be producing hybrid
records, with RDA-compliant headings joined to aacr/dcrm
description.</font></font>

<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>
