<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello! I'm wondering if there would be support on this list to change its heading to "DCRM-L -- Rare Materials Cataloging Discussion Group"? (Or "Discussion of the Cataloging of Rare Materials" so that the acronym still works?) instead
of "DCRM-L -- DCRM Users' Group"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When DCRM-L first started, the group was specifically for the hands-on creation of the DCRM modules. After more and more DCRM's were published, the scope was changed to "DCRM Users' Group", but it has now become a (fabulous!) forum for
discussing rare materials cataloging more broadly, including access points, book cradles, OPACs and early printed materials, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This thought came about because I started to reply to Ilumi Crocoll directly, in response to the message just posted to RBMS-L (a reminder that RBMS-L is only for postings related to the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ACRL) which
says "Some of these items might be more appropriately posted to the Exlibris discussion list." It bothered me that Exlibris was suggested, but not also DCRM-L, so I went to
<a href="https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flistserver.lib.byu.edu%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fdcrm-l&data=02%7C01%7Cfrancis.lapka%40yale.edu%7C7f5a14c8071649e9eafb08d8185b7133%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C637286128319789291&sdata=SLJbCW1m0Tc7ZHTNYEceICLXdXvBI1Ekfp5oZa0sky8%3D&reserved=0">
https://listserver.lib.byu.edu/mailman/listinfo/dcrm-l</a> in order to get a direct quote about this list's scope.... but it turns out I went full puffer-fish too soon: the list's description doesn't actually say that it's for discussing rare materials cataloging.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We've already changed the description of this group once, and I think it's probably time to change it again.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do others think?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
