[DCRB-L] MARC format change proposal: repeatability of 260 $e,f,g

[John Attig]

At the DCRB Conference, it was noted that transcription of publication, 
distribution, etc., information for machine-press books would sometimes 
require that multiple places, names and/or dates of manufacture be 
recorded.  To make this possible, the relevant subfields (260 $e, f and g) 
need to be made repeatable.

With some examples contributed by Manon Theroux, I have drafted a MARC 
change form, which is attached.  Such requests are handled fairly routinely 
by LC, but it does require that a proposal be prepared for the MARC 
Advisory Group to discuss and approve.  I would like to submit this change 
request within about six weeks, which will allow ample time for the 
proposal to get on the MARBI agenda for Midwinter.

Please send comments to the list by August 15.  At that point, I will 
prepare a final version for BSC to approve.
