<p class="MsoNormal">RDA offers guidelines for “Early printed resources” in 14 distinct rules. At the end of this message, I append a compilation of each instance (thanks to Lori Dekydtspotter for fishing these out!). Of the 14 instances, the phrase “Early
printed resource(s)” occurs as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>In the title of a rule: <b>4 times</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>As a label at the beginning of a rule, in conjunction with RDA exceptions:
<b>8 times</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>As in-line text: <b>in all 14 instances</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Early printed resources” also appears in the RDA glossary, where it is defined as “Materials manufactured before the advent of machine printing in approximately 1825-1830.” This definition echoes a sentence from the definition of scope
in DCRM(B): “DCRM(B) is especially appropriate for the description of publications produced before the introduction of machine printing in the nineteenth century.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That scope paragraph in DCRM(B) continues: “<b>However, it may be used to describe any printed monograph, including machine-press publications, artists’ books, private press books, and other contemporary materials.”
</b>This more inclusive application seems entirely lacking in RDA’s scope for “Early printed resources.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We discussed this issue at the Midwinter meeting of BSC, where there was a consensus that RDA’s current handling of guidelines for “Early printed resources” is probably too limiting. Members of BSC agreed that it would be appropriate to
propose a revision to: (a) the “Early printed resources” label, (b) the label’s definition in the RDA glossary, or (c) both. Any revision we propose would be submitted to CC:DA and (provided it is approved), from there to JSC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this time, I’d like to throw the discussion open to the greater wisdom of the list. I’ll begin with one possibility, bandied among members of the DCRM(B) for RDA revision group:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>For “early printed resources,” substitute “special collections resources”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]>In the RDA glossary, define “special collections resources” in terms similar to the scope of DCRM(B):
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background:white"> “</span></span><span style="background:white"> … especially appropriate for the description of resources produced before the introduction of machine printing in the nineteenth century. However,
it may be used to describe any printed resource, including machine-press publications, artists’ books, private press books, and other contemporary materials.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note that this proposal has no immediate bearing on DCRM(B) or its revision. The revision to RDA would simply encourage the wider application of a set of RDA guidelines concerning special collections material, for catalogers who may never
have the ability or inclination to apply DCRM. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your thoughts and suggestions are desired.<o:p></o:p></p>
