<p class="MsoNormal">I'm interested to learn what targets you set in Special Collections for cataloging rare books printed before and after 1800 (containing provenance information). What is a reasonable average rate of cataloging production per title for DCRB
(M) cataloging (pre-1800) and <span style="font-size:10.0pt">RDA </span>cataloging for rare books after 1800.
