</div>
<div>In light of the email announcing that "dcrmm" has been approved as a Description Convention Source Code in OCLC -- for use in 040 $e (see Technical Bulletin 263, OCLC-MARC Format Update 2014, Phase 1 :
<a href="http://www.oclc.org/support/services/worldcat/documentation/tb/263.en.html">
http://www.oclc.org/support/services/worldcat/documentation/tb/263.en.html</a>), I'd like to point out that Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Music) has not. Although DCRM(M) is under the final review phase, it has not been approved for use by the Rare
Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) nor by the Music Library Association (MLA).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We sought approval for the OCLC convention code in advance so that once DCRM(M) is published, catalogers can use it immediately. If you recall, there was a long delay between the publication of DCRM(G) and approval of 040 $e dcrmg.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let me know if you have any questions.</div>

<div>Thanks and have a great weekend!</div>
