[Will Evans]

Thank you all for officially allowing this change of focus. BTW is it
possible to place pre-publication orders for DCRM(B)?
 
Best,
 
Will

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
