<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div>While helping weed our departmental reference collection, I'm deciding the fate of our print copies of DCRB, BDRB, SCF, and the various controlled vocabularies. I do refer to these rarely even though they are no longer current. But since they've all been digitized, I'm more comfortable with sending our print copies offsite and deduplicating them. However a number of the digital versions are limited view, since they are not yet in public domain. </div><div><br></div><div>I seem to recall that BSC has been able to publish free PDFs of current DCRM and AMREMM manuals, since they are no longer in print. Would there be a case for publishing these legacy documents on the BSC website as well for the sake of posterity and comparative standards work, and/or taking steps to authorize Hathi or IA to publish these as full view? </div><div><br>Either way, perhaps the links below may be helpful to others as well. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Matthew</div><div><br></div><div><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><strong>Predecessors to <a href="https://rbms.info/dcrm/dcrmb/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">DCRM(B)</a></strong></p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/004439346" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">Bibliographic Description of Rare Books</a> (BDRB). 1981; via HathiTrust (full view)</p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><a href="https://archive.org/details/indextobibliogra00rich" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">Index to Bibliographic Description of Rare Books</a>. 1987; via Internet Archive (full view)</p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/002570058" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books</a> (DCRB). 2nd edition. 1991; via HathiTrust (full view)</p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><a href="https://archive.org/details/examplestoaccomp0000unse_d7j8" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">Examples to Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books, 2nd ed.</a> 1999; via Internet Archive (limited preview)</p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><strong>Predecessors to <a href="https://rbms.info/scf/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">SCF</a>: </strong></p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/api/volumes/oclc/8347653.html" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">Standard citation forms for published bibliographies and catalogs used in rare book cataloging</a>, 1st ed., 1982; via HathiTrust (full view)</p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,"Fira Sans","Droid Sans","Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;font-size:14px"><a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/003133311" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(0,82,204);text-decoration-line:none">Standard citation forms for published bibliographies and catalogs used in rare book cataloging</a>, 2nd ed., 1996; via HathiTrust (full view)</p><p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe
