<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It has been suggested that the terminology throughout the Relator Terms page be changed from “relator terms” to “relationship designators,” to bring the resource in line with RDA. This would involve changing the name of the resource from
<i>Relator Terms for Use in Rare Book and Special Collections Cataloging</i> to <i>
Relationship Designators for Use in Rare Book and Special Collections Cataloging</i>. If approved, I think it would be desirable to update DCRM modules accordingly.<o:p></o:p></p>
