<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Controlled Vocabularies Editorial team has posted 6 new Genre Term scope notes to the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Community Discussion blog <a href="http://rbms.info/cv-comments/"><font color="red"><b><u>http://rbms.info/cv-comments/</u></b></font></a><font color="red"><b>
</b></font>Although these terms were already part of Genre Terms, and have established usage, they lacked scope notes. The CV team is undertaking a systematic a review of all of those terms without scope notes, and composing definitions for each of them.
