[DCRM-L] FW: BRS and rare books/material

[Laurence Creider]

Bob,
Well, Ms. Wooley's note explains why I had the feeling that the comments 
that BSC sent on the BSR were disregarded.  Thank you for sharing the 
note.

Thank you also for your comments in reply, which I totally agree with.  I 
hope that any BSR group will consult with and listen harder to BSC and 
other communities next time they start playing around with things that 
affect the cataloging community.
