<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Marie-Chantal!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It actually is our policy at the Folger to include technique in the MARC 300 when doing full DCRM(G) cataloging. I think Deborah thought you meant rare book cataloging.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When there’s uncertainty about the specific technique of a print, we’ve traditionally gone with the lowest common denominator, so “relief” if you’re not sure which relief technique was used.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That being said, I think you have a good point about how museum labels handle uncertainty in technique. I think it would be worth looking to
<i>Cataloging Cultural Objects</i> (CCO) 3.2.2.2.6, which allows use of “probably” or, if the possibilities are very limited, “or” -- in fact, we already have this in some of our legacy cataloging, e.g. “1 drawing : watercolor or gouache.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Putting “probably” or “or” in the 300$b rather than omitting it or going with something more general helps users know what the picture
<i>isn’t</i>. In the “watercolor or gouache” example, users get a general idea of what kind of drawing it is, and a certaintainty about what kind of drawing it isn’t (e.g., not pencil, not pen-and-ink).

<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I was wondering whether it would be considered erroneous to use a question mark in the MARC 300 field to indicate uncertainty about the printing technique of an art print. I’ve
consulted both DCRM(G) and RDA, but unfortunately, I haven’t found any instruction that explicitly allows this. However, there are cases where there is genuine doubt about the printing technique, and it would be convenient if there was a way to reflect that
uncertainty in the description (like I have seen on museum labels).</span><span lang="FR-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
