[DCRM-L] RBMS Controlled Vocabularies: Printing in Gold

[nina at supermodern.com]

Hi Everyone:

As you may remember from the Midwinter meeting in Philadelphia, the term "Printing in Gold" was tentatively approved by BSC on the condition that we find warrant for the two UF's. We have found warrant for one of these: "Gold printing." 

We cannot find warrant for "Printing in gilt."

Therefore, the Thesaurus team proposes omitting "Printing in gilt" as a non-preferred term. 

If there are no objections, the term will be added to list of approved terms on the web site.  If there are objections, we'll discuss it again at Annual in Anaheim.

If you object, please let me know by the end of the day Friday, March 7th.

Thanks!
