[DCRM-L] Citing ESTC

[Elizabeth Robinson]

Dear all,

Henry Snyder and Juliet McLaren made a formal revised
submission for ESTC some months ago. I can tell you
what form they asked for on tomorrow when I have
access to my work files. As the maintenance editor for
_Standard citations_, I basically insure submissions
meet the criteria listed in Working Principles and the
final forms get to CDS for an update to _Standard
citations_ on Catalogers Desktop.

After I tell you what Henry and Juliet proposed, if
any of you have objections to the proposed form, I
suggest that you contact the two of them for further
deliberation. And, of course, if there is no problem,
I will go ahead with the proposed forms.

Stay tuned.
