<p class="MsoNormal">For others as eager as I am to begin using DCRM(MSS), I thought I should point out that a descriptive conventions source code (040 $e) was requested from the MARC Standards Office just after the BSC vote to approve DCRM(MSS) at ALA Annual
in Orlando.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A code has not been announced in the technical notices issued since then, nor added to the
<a href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html">list of codes</a>, so I expect that the request is still in review. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If and when approved, I expect it will be announced in an upcoming MARC <a href="http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html#naa">technical notice</a>. These notices typically request a 60-day embargo on implementation in exchange records, so
that the code can be added to validation tables. <o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
The Bibliographic Standards Committee of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries (RBMS/ACRL) is pleased to announce the publication of Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Manuscripts). DCRM(MSS) covers
individual manuscripts on paper, on microfilm, or in the form of digital surrogates. It does not cover manuscript music, manuscript maps, or graphics, all of which are covered by other DCRM manuals currently in development or already published. This manual
is the result of the hard work of the DCRM(MSS) editorial team: Alison E. Bridger, Diane Ducharme (SAA Description Section liaison), Kate Moriarty, Jennifer K. Nelson, Margaret Nichols (chair), Elizabeth O'Keefe, and Heather Wolfe.<br>
<br>
The PDFs of the text and the cover are DCRM(MSS) is available here: <a href="http://rbms.info/dcrm/dcrmmss/" target="_blank">

Enjoy!<br>
