[DCRM-L] Cataloging unpublished facsimiles

[Margaret Nichols]

We don't use a local GMD, but we signal that the item is a photocopy 
by using the 533, adding "a" at the end of the call number, and 
making a public copy-specific note saying "Photocopy" on the holdings 
record. Short of a flashing neon sign, that's about as plain as we 
can make it, and it seems to work--

Best,

Margaret
