Hi Deborah,

 

If help is still needed, I'll take a section or two. 

 

Best,

 

Will.

	Dear friends of DCRM,

	As we head into the final days of DCRM(B) preparation, I want to
issue a call for volunteer proofreaders. The text is due to the indexer
on Tuesday September 5. We wish to subject DCRM(B) to another round of
close reading between September 5 and October 1, when the text is due to
the GPO for printing. (November 1 is the date it's expected to hit the
streets). 

	Bibliographic Standards members and volunteers from the
community did a close reading of the delta version of DCRM(B) in
preparation for our public hearing in June 2005. That was a productive
and beneficial exercise. For this, the eta version, the main purpose
will be to proofread for typos, missing words, inconsistency of
punctuation or indentation, and the like. (For example, I just noticed
that we sometimes use a colon after "but" and sometimes not when
introducing counter-examples). We are not expecting content-related
problems (fingers crossed), with the possible exception of rule
references--we've been breaking up longer rules with added
sub-numbering, and references to them will need to be double- and
triple-checked. 

	Speaking of double and triple-checking, I hope to have enough
volunteers in addition to Bib Standards committee members to assign two
or three people to each section.  Please let me know if you would like
to contribute to DCRM(B) in this final important task and thereby win
our sincere gratitude, and if so, how many sections you'd be willing to
take, and whether you have any preferences. We also need at least a
couple of people willing to proofread the entire text, preface to
glossary. 

	Preface 

	Introduction (including Objectives & Principles and
Pre-Cataloging Decisions) 

	Area 0 General rules 

	Area 1 Title and statement of responsibility

	Areas 2 & 8  Edition and standard numbers

	Area 4 Publication, distribution, etc. 

	Area 5  Physical description

	Area 6 Series

	Area 7 Notes

	Appendix A: Marc 21 Descriptive Conventions Code        

	Appendix B: Collection-Level Records    

	Appendix C: Core-Level Records  

	Appendix D: Minimal-Level Records       

	Appendix E: Variations Requiring A New Description      

	Appendix F: Title Access Points 

	Appendix G: Early Letter Forms And Symbols      

	Appendix H: Individual Issues Of Serials  

	Glossary

	Thanks for considering it. --DJL
