[DCRM-L] RBMS Controlled Vocabularies call for scope note review

[Ryan Hildebrand]

Dear all,

 

The RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Subcommittee (of the Bibliographic
Standards Committee) has been engaged in a project to write scope notes for
terms lacking them in the Genre Terms thesaurus. We would appreciate your
comments on our first round of draft scope notes, which may be read and
commented on here: http://rbms.info/digress/genrescopenotes/. Please see
item no. 1 in the blog's table of contents for instructions on commenting.
The period for commenting is from now until June 10, at which time I will
synthesize comments into a document for subcommittee review at our ALA
annual meeting.

 

The terms are: Academic catalogs, Abridgements, Begging poems, Cartoons,
Catalogs, Censored works, Century sermons, and Dedication sermons.

 

The terms themselves have already been approved, and are included in the
current version of the vocabularies, available here:
http://www.rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/controlled_vocabular
ies/index.shtml. In some cases, hierarchical placement or relationships have
been changed or updated; these changes are reflected in the draft version of
the term.

 

Thanks,

Ryan
