[DCRM-L] Going from Core-Level to BIBCO Standard Record in DCRM(G)

[Ann W. Copeland]

Erin,

In answer to your questions, a and b assumptions are correct but your 
"Therefore..." it seems to me is incorrect. I don't think that we should 
be giving instructions to use the BSR for Graphic Materials since many 
users of DCRM(G) will not be PCC members. DCRM(S) in Appendix D: 
Minimal-level records offers a scaled down version of description for a 
minimal level record. AACR2 still allows minimal level records, even 
though PCC has done away with the core in favor of the BSR for 
Monographs (and the BSR for Rare Books).

If you are rewriting DCRM(G) app. C to replace "core" with the BSR, what 
will non-pcc libraries do when they want to create a less than full 
DCRM(G) record? (This will presumably change when RDA comes out and 
there are core elements, not core records, eek!) But for now, I think 
you can only point people to documentation for the BSR for Graphic 
materials, but write your documentation for a lesser DCRM(G) record that 
is not coded pcc.
