<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I believe I’ve tracked down the ALA response that John refers to (part of a larger review of Chapter 3, in Sept 2007):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/5rda-parta-ch3rev-alaresp.pdf">http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/5rda-parta-ch3rev-alaresp.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As John says, this response (excerpted below) articulates the same concerns we’ve recently raised:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“<b>Treatment of early printed resources.</b> ALA agrees with the specific provisions included for early printed resources. However, we continue to be concerned about the scope of these instructions. The limitation to “early” and to “printed”
resources is artificial. Many of these instructions are equally applicable to resources from modern fine presses and could in
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">fact be useful for describing any resource where fuller or more precise description is desired. The revised Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials rules are intended to be applicable broadly to materials in special collections that require
this kind of detailed description. The scope of the exceptions in RDA should be similarly broad, allowing the cataloging agency to determine what materials in their collections should be described in this way.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALA also believes that the word “printed” has been used ambiguously in the past. In some cases it has been used to mean textual and in others to mean produced by a printing process. We would like to see RDA avoid the use of this term whenever
possible.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I could not track down, however, a JSC reaction to the above (assuming such was ever committed to paper).
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I sympathize with Deborah’s thoughts about concentrating our (limited) resources where most useful. In my mind, the revisions to RDA proposed here are completely independent of the DCRM(B) revision, and certainly
needn’t be undertaken by the DCRM(B) for RDA revision group—especially if there are others who feel strongly enough to see this forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Subject: </b>[DCRM-L] FW: RDA label "Early Printed Resources" -- revision proposal</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:black">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">
</span><span style="color:black">In the title of a rule: <b>4 times</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:black">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">
</span><span style="color:black">As a label at the beginning of a rule, in conjunction with RDA exceptions:
<b>8 times</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:black">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">
</span><span style="color:black">As in-line text: <b>in all 14 instances</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">“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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:black">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">
</span><span style="color:black">For “early printed resources,” substitute “special collections resources”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:black">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">
</span><span style="color:black">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></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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>
