[DCRB-L] Prop. 4, Collection-level: Background reading

[Jain Fletcher]

Hi, everyone,
   To help aid familiarity with the topic of my proposal paper (coming 
out within a week or so), I have two titles that I would suggest for 
added comprehension of the topic:  
	1)  SAA's _Archives, Personal Papers, and Manuscripts_ (APPM)
	Yes, this is still a 1989 copyright and yes, it is much in need 
of updating.  Still, it's the basic principles which count for our 
purposes. No need to read much more than Part I (Description - p. 3-31) 
and *possibly* the Intro to Part II.  (If you don't have a print copy 
easily available, don't forget, it is on the Cataloger's DeskTop.)
	2)  Nichols, Margaret. "Finding the Forest Among the Trees: The 
Potential of Collection-Level Cataloging", _Cataloging and 
Classification Quarterly_ (v. 23, no. 1 1996). 
	This article shows ways that APPM can be put to good use in 
dealing with collections of printed material.
				Thanks, Jain
