[DCRM-L] DCRMB 5B6.6

[Holly Phelps]

I followed the rule but didn't understand it. I knew there had to be a
reason.

Thanks for shedding light!

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?
