[DCRM-L] Going from Core-Level to BIBCOStandard Record inDCRM(G)

[Ann W. Copeland]

I agree with you Erin. This will likely come up with maps as well - will 
there be a BSR for rare cartographic materials? I think it is best to 
just think in terms of DCRM(G) second level of description and only 
mention BIBCO as a reference to the earlier appendix.

We are a pcc library and have been doing visual materials but when I 
asked if that meant we could do items according to gihc our trainer was 
not sure. ("With regard to using  LC's Graphic Materials when cataloging 
graphic materials records for PCC/BIBCO.  Rare books catalogers use 
specific LC "tested and approved" documentation and code them as 
PCC/BIBCO.  PCC/BIBCO documentation doesn't give specific guidance about 
this for graphic materials so I can't pin-point anything to say yes. 
However, the manual you mention is LC approved and I can't imagine not 
being able to use it." If you would like me to pursue with PCC I can.

A search in OCLC for 2000- $e gihc turned up hundreds of DLC records but 
no PCC records.
