[DCRM-L] Area 1 DCRM(B)

[J.P. Brigham]

Comments on Area 1:

 

1A1. 

Add boldface: "1A1. Prescribed punctuation

 

1A2.4. 

Deborah, your editorial notes say you prefer "materials" over "monographs" and this paragraph is titled "Multipart monographs." I wasn't sure if you wanted to change it and as well the same phrase within to "multipart materials" or not, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

 

1B1.1.

End of line 4: insert "bibliographic" to read "areas in the bibliographic record (or"

 

1B2.

Remove "Indicate" and insert "Record"

 

1B3.4.

Add "On" to "First page:" to read "On first page:" which will reflect the form used in Area 0. While scanning down through Area 0 to see how the source and transcription examples were handled as a reference for this, I noticed that some example headings were italicized and some were not, so that might need reviewing for consistency, for example: 0F2.1, 0G2.2, 0G2.3, 0G3.1, 0g3.4, 0G3.7 not italics; 0G3.5, 0G4.1, 0G4.2 in italics. Someone else may well have already noted that.

 

1B5.

End of line 5: remove "Indicate" and insert "Record"

Further down: change the first 2 of 3 "Note:" to italics

 

1B6.

Line 5: replace "When" with "If"

 

1C1. 

Add boldface: "1C1. Order and source of parallel titles"

 

1E5.

Line 3: remove "generally" in "generally transcribe all the names mentioned. Optionally, if the ." 

In my opinion it's unnecessary, and I didn't see it used elsewhere prior to the O word when I quickly scanned except with D3.1/D3.2. If you change 1E5, you may also want to remove it in D3.1. 

I sure like the Find tool for this editing - makes it much faster to find words and phrases you want us to keep an eye out for.

 

1F1.1

Add boldface: "By same person or body."

 

1F2.1

Line 4: change "give" to "supply"

 

Use of "should" in:

1G3. line 4 perhaps could read: In general, apply this instruction only when .

1G7. line 5 perhaps could remain as is: "and it is impossible to decide which side should be read first, ."

 

That's all I noted - congratulations once again to you and your committee.
