Hello Robert
My colleague passed your message to the DCRM(b) revision group list 
along to me. The text of it is appended below my message.

The recently approved BIBCO Standard Record is for printed monographs, 
_but doesn't include rare books_. This information should have been 
included in the BSR introduction. So I can understand your concern.

The BSR committee work is through (for the BSR for printed monographs) 
and I am not aware, as of this posting, who will be working on the next 
steps for inclusion of other formats for the BSR (rare,  visual, sound 
recordings, etc.).

I hope this clears up your concerns. At this time I cannot speak for the 
PCC with regard to additional work for the BSR for formats other than 
the printed monograph.

Thanks,
Iris Wolley

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.)

Record policy:

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.
