replaced by “rare printed resources.” The following rules could also be applied to 21<sup>st</sup> century artists’ books, where these resources often lack title-pages and the artist acts the manufacturer, publisher, distributer, etc.

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">This spring, the RDA Steering Committee (RSC) formed a Rare Materials Working Group to assist the RSC in developing the treatment of rare materials in RDA (see:
<span style="color:#0563c1"><a href="http://www.rda-rsc.org/workinggroups" target="_blank">http://www.rda-rsc.org/workinggroups</a></span>). One of the tasks assigned to the working group was a review of all RDA exceptions (etc.) for Early Printed Resources. To this end, the WG will submit a handful of RDA revision proposals
for RSC review in the 2016 cycle. All proposals are due by August 1. The WG is very interested in comments from members of this list. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
