<p class="MsoNormal">Quick clarification about manuscripts: the BSR actually does make provision for manuscripts (starts on page 20), it's just that RBMS doesn't provide "rare materials" guidance on manuscripts (other than rare cartographic manuscripts and
rare music manuscripts, through their respective DCRM modules).<o:p></o:p></p>

</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee had several discussions regarding what tools and guidance the rare materials cataloging community needs in order to catalog rare
materials in conjunction with the new RDA. The conclusion of the discussions was that in depth guidance that rare materials catalogers rely on in the current Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (DCRM) manuals cannot effectively be reproduced by policy
statements in the Beta Toolkit alone and a change of approach was necessary. The RBMS Policy Statements Editorial Group (a “subgroup” of the Bibliographic Standards Committee) has been renamed the RBMS RDA Editorial Group and charged with developing guidance
and tools for cataloging rare materials according to RDA as needed by the community.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">The editorial group will revise the current DCRM manuals (starting with Books) to be RDA compliant and align with the RDA Element Set. (Language in the
revised manual will be heavily based on the current manuals.) The new manual will be published as a free online resource outside the Toolkit. Like the RDA Toolkit (and the 2002 revision of AACR2), the revised DCRM manuals will be considered an integrating
resources and updates incorporated as needed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">The editorial group will also create a set of policy statements for publication within the Toolkit. The policy statements will be short and concise and
link to the revised DCRM Manual for fuller instructions/guidance. (For example, apply this option; see DCRM X.X for additional guidance.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#222222">Until the new guidelines are complete, rare materials catalogers, who wish to create RDA-acceptable DCRM records, should follow provisions for rare materials
