[DCRM-L] Change in focus of dcrm-l

[Rettberg, Dan]

Thank you Bob, and Deborah and Manon. I have felt the need for such a list ever since a similar list to which I subscribed went out of existence in the 1990's. I admit to not being one of the more active members, but I still find the discussion worthwhile and helpful, and consider myself privileged to be a part of it.

Subject: [DCRM-L] Change in focus of dcrm-l


Dear DCRM-Lers,
 
Since DCRM(B)'s publication is imminent (yay!), Deborah, Manon, and I have been thinking about DCRM-L and suggest a slight change of focus. We propose that the list now be open to rare materials cataloging questions and discussions in general rather than only specifically focussing on the rule revision process (though that discussion will continue as necessary--we still have the other modules to publish!). This has already started to happen a bit--we have from time to time had people write in with cataloging questions. I think the three of us just wanted to make clear that we think that is fine and hope we'll be able to use the list to help folks with specific problems and promote rare materials cataloging generally. We hope this change of focus will be welcome. The list members are a great resource, and a narrowly tailored list devoted to rare cataloging issues might be more useful to some than the rather free wheeling range of topics that come up on the other rare materials related lists.
 
Thanks,
Bob
