[DCRM-L] Area 8 & Appendix A comments

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Thanks, Alex. This is a good question. Now that I look at it, I'm not
comfortable with referring to serials as "nonbook" formats, and notice
that DCRB did not include serials here. Comments welcome; to get the
ball rolling, I suggest changing from 
A7. Nonbook formats 
Do not apply the code "dcrmb" to records for nonbook materials such as
serials, maps, music, and graphics, even though they may have been
cataloged according to an adapted, "DCRM(B)-like" standard.

To
A7. Nontextual formats 

Do not apply the code "dcrmb" to records for nonmonographic or
nontextual materials such as graphics, maps, music, and serials, even
though they may have been described according to an adapted,
"DCRM(B)-like" standard.*

*Use a DCRM component manual for the format being described if one
exists.

Or

*If describing rare music or serials, use the appropriate DCRM component
manual.

Our list of sources cited would then have DCRM(M) and DCRM(S).

	Area 8 looks good to me--I found no typos or other errors.
	I like Appendix A too, particularly the inclusion of a section
for 
	full-level DCRM(B). My only reservation about App. A is that
"A7. Nonbook 
	formats" seems to require another sentence of elaboration. Does
this 
	section's reference to "an adapted, 'DCRM(B)-like' standard"
allude to 
	DCRM(S), DCRM(M), etc.? If so why not point out that these
related 
	standards will have their own codes? (or provide them, if they
are known)
