          <div>Dear Ms. Rich,</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>No MARC Code for <i>Descriptive Cataloging of Rare
              Materials (Manuscripts)</i> has yet been designated or
            announced by the Library of Congress.  LC periodically
            issues <i>Technical Notice</i><i>s</i> to announce new MARC
            Codes; all of the <i>Technical
              Notices</i> issued since June 2002, up to the most recent
            issued on 2016 August 5, are online under the heading
            "Change Announcements" at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
              href="http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html"><font
                color="#0563C1"><u>http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html</u></font></a>. 
            It should also be noted that all of the announcements
            include the proviso that "The codes should not be used in
            exchange records until 60 days after the date of this notice
            to provide implementers time to include newly-defined codes
            in any validation tables." 
            As soon as LC announces the code, we could put it on our
            schedule to be validated in WorldCat at the next available
            installation following the sixty-day injunction.  In
            conjunction with that, we’ll also add the new code to the
            list of descriptive convention
            codes for rare and archival materials that render a
            bibliographic record exempt from processing by our Duplicate
            Detection and Resolution (DDR) software.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>Mr. Haugen is correct that the code LC chooses will
            almost certainly not include parentheses.  as he also notes,
            all of the currently valid MARC Codes for Bibliographic and
            Authority fields 040 subfield $e can be found on the <i>Description
              Convention
              Source Codes</i> list at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html"><font
                color="#0563C1"><u>http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html</u></font></a>. 
            Each of the previous five DCRM publications
            has an assigned code and we can expect that DCRM(MSS) will
            get one as soon as LC can work it out.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>In the meantime, you may want to keep track of all the
            records you create under DCRM(MMS) so that you can add the
            appropriate code to field 040 subfield $e once it is
            validated.</div>

          <div>    Can anyone advise on this from OCLC?</div>

            already published. This
            manual is the result of the hard work of the DCRM(MSS)

            Nelson, Margaret Nichols (chair), Elizabeth O'Keefe, and

          <div> </div>
          <div>    Hi Allison, The descriptive conventions source code
            (040 $e) was requested</div>
          <div>    from the MARC Standards Office just after the BSC
            vote to approve DCRM(MSS)</div>
          <div>    at ALA Annual in Orlando, about two months ago.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>    We requested "dcrmmss" but the Standards Office has
            not yet approved the</div>
          <div>    request, and it's possible they may choose a code
            different from what we</div>
          <div>    requested. When approved, the new code will be
            announced in a MARC technical</div>
          <div>    notice <<a moz-do-not-send="true"
              href="http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html#naa">http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcginf.html#naa</a>>
            and added to the MARC list</div>
          <div>    of descriptive convention source codes.</div>
          <div>    <<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html">http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/descriptive-conventions.html</a>></div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>    I do expect that the approved code will not contain
            parentheses, as in your</div>
          <div>    example. Codes are composed of lowercase alphabetic
            characters, numeric</div>
          <div>    characters 0 through 9, and the hyphen (-), up to a
            maximum of 12</div>
          <div>    characters.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>    Once MARC announces a new code in a technical notice,
            they request a 60-day</div>
          <div>    waiting period on implementation in exchange records,
            so that the code can</div>
          <div>    be added to validation tables. The MARC source code
            site says "Implementers</div>
          <div>    may use newly assigned codes in their internal
            systems immediately as long</div>
          <div>    as records containing new codes are not distributed
            until after the waiting</div>
          <div>    period."</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>    As for OCLC, I think we may have to wait until the
            next OCLC-MARC technical</div>
          <div>    bulletin that we will see the code validate in OCLC,
            and those appear to</div>
          <div>    come out annually.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>    I'll send an update to DCRM-L list as soon as I hear
            more.</div>

          <div>    > Hi Nina and all:</div>
          <div>    ></div>
          <div>    > Question here!!</div>
          <div>    > I have just encoded the "$e dcrm(mss)" in the
            040 in a new MARC record in</div>
          <div>    > OCLC today.</div>
          <div>    > The code is unrecognized in OCLC and, thus, the
            record will not verify.</div>
          <div>    ></div>
          <div>    > Can anyone advise on this from OCLC?</div>
          <div>    > Thank you for your help,</div>
