[DCRM-L] FW: RDA label "Early Printed Resources" -- revision proposal

[Erin Blake]

I agree fully with Richard about "early" being irrelevant, but again, please don't forget that RDA's special instructions for "early printed resources" do NOT apply to "special collections resources." They apply to SOME special collections resources. Many do not apply to still images.

I strongly recommend against anything that would require adding instructions for still images in special collections to RDA. Either you catalog the picture using RDA, or you catalog the picture using DCRM(G). You don't use modified RDA.  This follows previous practice: either you use Chapter 8 of AACR2, or you use Graphic Materials.

    Erin.
