[DCRM-L] [Fwd: Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Cartographic)]

[Gillis, Jane]

I notice that there is nothing for the DCRM (Manuscripts), which does have a chair and members.  Is that what we are calling it?

MAGERT members:



Via our executive board, you have supported a proposal to develop a manual

for the cataloging of early maps as part of a series of such manuals, the

creation and publication of which is being coordinated by the Bibliographic

Standards Committee (BSC) of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ALA.

A status announcement and the proposal have recently been mounted on the

Web site of the BSC.  To see them in context, please start by going to

http://www.rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/index.shtml and

then under Descriptive Cataloging Rules, click on Descriptive Cataloging of

Rare Materials (Cartographic).  Action on the proposal depends on its

approval by the BSC at ALA; it will be considered at their Saturday morning

meeting next month in Anaheim.



Thank you for your support.  We will keep you informed of developments.  We

are hopeful that this will transpire and look forward to your input along

the way.



Nancy Kandoian,

representing also Todd Fell, Carolyn Kadri, and Seanna Tsung
