[DCRM-L] RDA question

[Allison Rich]

Hello all:

This email is regarding the inevitable transition to RDA on 31 March 2013.

What is the status of DCRM and RDA?

We are the only library at Brown which uses DCRM and it is becoming 
important to know about whether the conventions of spelled out 
unnumbered pages, no more bracketing and
the loss of sic are going or not. I'd like to hear from Deborah Leslie 
on this if I may and John Attig who have been working on this.

In the past my library has ha a long tradition of being "out of the 
loop" with technical and standards issues and I don't want to be in that 
situation this time.
So I am curious as to whether our time honored conventions of bracketing 
are going to be ripped away from us or whether thos of us who use DCRM 
are still wrangling with
the RDA stands committees on this.

Many thanks for your help and feedback,
~Allison Rich
