[DCRM-L] Five-page summary of changes from DCRB to DCRM(B)

[Karen Attar]

Dear Deborah and all,

Thank you for your kind words about the summary of changes from DCRB to
DCRM(B) in the CILIP Rare Books Newsletter, and thank you for pointing
out the inaccuracy. I've noticed one omission, concerning notes (i.e.
that it is no longer essential to include references for incunabula).

I don't think I can change the error on the pdf file (to which in the
first instance we shall link from the BSC web pages) - BUT we want to
mount the piece on the BSC pages of the CILIP RBSCG web pages, with some
illustrations where it helps, and shall definitely change it there. And
when we have reached that stage, we shall let you know.

Best wishes,

Karen (Attar)
(Secretary, UK Bibliographic Standards Committee of the CILIP

I started reading through it, and it *is* very helpful. Many thanks to
our friends in Britain for doing this.

 

I noticed one ... inaccuracy, I'll call it, for lack of a better word. 

 

0G3.1: New rule: For alternative titles, it is no longer necessary to
have commas around the "or" (sive, seu, etc.) if they are not present in
the book.  

 

This is meant to apply only when following the original punctuation
option. The continued use of double commas setting off "or" are implied,
although not stated, in the editorial comment pertaining to this
alternative rule.  

 

I don't expect to find any others, but if I do, I'll post them to this
list. I know several members of the CILIP RBSCG read this list.

Just noticed that the UK Bibliographic Standards Committee of CILIP's
Rare Books and Special Collections Group has published a handy five-page
summary of major changes between DCRB and DCRM(B), in rule number order,
in the RBSCG Newsletter. See
http://www.cilip.org.uk/specialinterestgroups/bysubject/rarebooks/public
ations/dcrmbrules for the intro, or go directly to the PDF at
