[DCRM-L] Area 1 DCRM(B)

[Ann W. Copeland]

Additional comments on Area 1

My impression was that for this area, information 
taken from other than the title page would be put 
in a note, rather than transcribed in brackets. 
Please forgive me if I am wrong, or if the 
distinction was made between outside the title 
page and outside the publication. Or if we were 
just favoring notes over brackets, in which case 
these can all stand. The next three comments relate to this question.

1A2.1 General rule: "Enclose information taken 
from any other source in square brackets and 
indicate its source in a note." This seems to 
conflict with rules 1C1, 1D1 and 1E2 which 
instruct to transcribe information not on the 
title page in a note, giving the source - ie. no 
option to transcribe and bracket. Should the general rule stand?

1E2: If a statement of responsibility appears on 
a source other than the title page, or is taken 
from outside the publication, record the statement and its source in a note -
1E6: last sentence and example: If statements of 
responsibility appear in sources other than the 
title page, also transcribe them in the order 
that makes the most sense. example: El Fuero real 
de España / diligentemente hecho por el noble Rey 
don Alonso noveno ; glossado por Alonso Díaz de Montalvo ...
  -Do we mean transcribe in a note as they 
appear? Or transcribe in the statement of 
responsibility? If we mean the latter, it is 
contrary to 1E2. But if we do allow this, we 
should specify "transcribe in brackets" in the 
order that makes the most sense.

Another instance is 1F2.1, last sentence: Adding 
titles of works on different sources: If the 
publication has no collective title, and works 
additional to those named on the title page 
appear in the publication, whether or not on 
special added title pages, either transcribe the 
titles of such works according to the provisions 
of 1F1, and place them in square brackets, or give them in a note (see 7B16). ?

other possible changes:

1C1. second sentence "If an original title" - prefer "If the original title" -


1D4. I think the final reference should be to 1D2.3 rather than 1D2.


  Thanks, Annie
