[DCRM-L] FW: 2007 Issue 2 of Cataloger's Desktop available

[Robert Maxwell]

Whoo hoo! No wonder my DCRB link disappeared from the browse categories
I set. 

What do they do with the electronic versions of superseded items like
DCRB? I hope they archive them somewhere--preferably somewhere publicly
available. They may be superseded but that does not mean they are not of
interest to anyone. (I'm also thinking of superseded versions of revised
LCRIs and AACR2 rules, but there are lots of other examples.) Of all
institutions LC should be thinking of this archiving issue. In the paper
world I can still have a look at my paper copy of DCRB if I need or want
to but if the electronic DCRB just disappears and it's all I have, I'm
out of luck. Any idea what they're doing about this?
