<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">In an effort to provide more help and ongoing training in rare materials cataloging, I'd like to use this list to post and respond to questions that arise from my
<a href="http://rarebookschool.org/courses/library/l30/">Rare Book School courses</a>. (For background, refer to the RBMS 2016 Conference seminar on "Succession Planning for Rare Materials Cataloging," where I argue that good cataloging is a community endeavor.)

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">In the past, I'd encourage my students to post queries to DCRM-L, but if they were hesitant, to send them to me first. If they were yes-and-no, right-and-wrong sorts of questions,
I'd answer them privately. If they involved matters of practice, &c., I'd encourage them to post to DCRM-L. I think other list members—especially the less-experienced—would find this useful.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I think we can do this without changing the nature of DCRM-L as a low-volume, high-relevance list. An exemplar of such a post follows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
