[DCRM-L] BIBCO Standard Record

[Robert Maxwell]

As most of you know, the BIBCO standard record has now been approved (see message and link below).  One of my catalogers points out that this seems to blast out of the water DCRM(B) Core, since core is now obsolete. The main problem with this is that in DCRM(B) Core 050 was not required; this was the main reason we used the core here. 050 is required in the new BIBCO Standard Record. I know many of us commented on this specific issue to the PCC Policy Committee, but our comments appear to have fallen on deaf ears. Is anyone involved in this standard on DCRM-L? If so, could you comment?

Would the chair of Bibliographic Standards care to request clarification and/or protest? This change will greatly diminish our BYU PCC contributions in areas where we use idiosyncratic call number schemes and do not want to take the time to create full blown LC call numbers for 050 (e.g. series of pamphlets). (Until we get clarification on this issue we intend to continue to code DCRM(B) PCC records without 050 as core.)

Subject: BIBCO Standard Record Approved



The PCC Policy Committee (PoCo) has approved the creation of a BIBCO

Standard Record (BSR) for monographic materials.   The requirements for

the BSR for monographs were laid out in the final report of the Task Group on BIBCO Standard Record Requirements, available from the PCC Website at: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/bibco/BSR-Final-Report.pdf







The Policy Committee will be discussing the details of BSR implementation at its upcoming meeting (November 5 and 6, 2009) at the Library of Congress.  The PoCo will also consider the process of creating BSR

guidelines for other formats.   Details will be forthcoming after the

November meetings in Washington.
