<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There might have been a decisive consensus at that particular gathering for wanting to indicate misprints within the element, but has a strong rare materials reason for an exception from the general guidelines
been articulated? I agree that it’s nice to see up front that there’s a misprint, but RDA’s stand is taken on the grounds of representation—we should be transcribing what is there and not adding stuff to title transcriptions. I would have thought that was
exactly what the rare cataloging community’s stand would be as well, with our emphasis on representation. If DCRM is going to take a stand that we should create a LESS exact title transcription than RDA (by interpolating stuff like “sic” and “i.e.”, much of
which is based on cataloger interpretation), we’d better have a pretty good justification for it, I think. I’m not seeing it just now …<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#215868">I’ve been thinking about how to indicate misprints in an RDA-acceptable way for DCRM. There was a decisive consensus during the preconference discussion
session that it was imperative for us to be able to indicate a misprint within the element.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#215868">We could continue our current way of doing this, via “[sic]” and “[i.e.]”, but I’d rather we found a way to comply with the spirit of RDA by eschewing Latin
words and abbreviations. “Sic” is problematic, since it’s technical meaning is “thus” and has been used to indicate not only misprints but pre-modern but acceptable spellings, and in some cases, even the absence of a period after an abbreviation:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#215868">I’ve been experimenting with using “[that is, … ]” to give correct readings of all misprints and false imprints, and just bracketed insertions for missing
words. Please see the attached for some early explorations. Please pay particular attention to items 8, 11, & 12.
