Thanks, Ryan; specific responses below. 

 

By the way, don't look for the fixed in the posted version; I am making them to the master draft.

Proofreading comments for Introduction. 

The editorial checklist states "use AACR 2" not "AACR2." Is this a mistake? I see only the latter in the document. [DJL] You're right; the reverse is true. 

Page 9
In contents list, delete extra space preceding "Acronyms." 
"Intro 1.1" should be "Intro 1.1." (add final period). [DJL] Fixed
 

Page 10, Intro 2.1.
Closing parenthesis of ISBD(A) should not be italicized.[DJL]  Fixed
 

Page 11, Intro 3.1.1.
[The following comment already sent out to DCRM-L.] The Introduction speaks of users' ability to "distinguish clearly among different manifestations of an expression or work" (see Intro 3.1.1. and following paragraph, and 3.2.2.). I'm not exactly sure what we are trying to say here, or how we mean this to be interpreted. In common parlance we often speak of a manifestation of a work with the expression implied, but is it not physically impossible to have manifestation of a work, without the expression, as the sentence suggests? What would be the difference between a manifestation of an expression vs. the manifestation of a work? Should the wording be changed to "Users are able to distinguish clearly among different manifestations of an expression of a work"?[DJL]  Addressed separately
 

Page 12, Intro 3.1.2.
"(e.g., consultation from a distance, limited access due to the fragile condition of the item, inability to physically browse collections housed in restricted areas)." Insert "or" before "inability" or ", etc." following "areas."[DJL]  Ok; chose the latter
 

Page 13, Intro 3.2.2.
2nd sentence: "(the title and statement of responsibility area, the edition area, the publication, distribution, etc., area, and the series area)..." Delete comma following "etc." [DJL] Fixed



Page 16, Intro 6. The entire sentence is italicized. Italicize the titles only. [DJL] Fixed




Page 16, Intro 8.2. In first sentence, "area 7" should be "Area 7."
Also, the reference "(see 7.A15)" should be "(see 7A1.5)."[DJL] Both fixed


Page 18, Intro 9. In last sentence, replace "cataloging record" with "bibliographic record."[DJL]  Fixed


Best,
Ryan
