[DCRM-L] DCRMB 5B6.6

[Robert Maxwell]

It is because DCRMB follows AACR2 2.5B8, which does not bracket in this situation. There was no rare reason to depart from AACR2. By the way, RDA will not be bracketing unnumbered pages/leaves at all.

Probably a stupid question, but it's Friday afternoon.

The rule reads: If a publication contains more than three sequences of numbered or more than five sequences of numbered and unnumbered pages or leaves, preferably record all of the sequences. If it is not practical to record all the sequences ... then employ one of the following methods:


a)    Record the total number of pages or leaves follow by "in various pagings" or "in various foliations."


The example is: 1024 p. in various pagings.

Is there a reason that number is not in brackets?
