[DCRM-L] Advice re late edition of engravings

[Erin Blake]

Funny how fixing a typo always uncovers three or four other things, and suddenly it's closing time.

This record was created several years ago by a grant-funded cataloger as part of a project called "Cripes! Let's at least get SOME metadata associated these scanned images" -- well, maybe that wasn't the exact title of the grant, but that was the gist of it.

Off the top of my head, the imprint information for a hypothetical DCRM(G) record might read as follows, with mandatory notes to justify the bracketed information:
260  $a [Antwerp?] : $b [Publisher not identified], $c [between 1590 and 1600?] $g ([printed late 18th or early 19th century])

Sorry to have slandered DFo's cataloger (anyone we know?). I'm working on the fly here with lots of windows and tabs open. A professor noted a typo in our record, and I up and got curious; but we're going crazy preparing to send 100K books offsite before the John Hay library closes down for a year+ for a highly cosmetic renovation (you'll hardly know it's a library when they're done), so I've added a note to our local records. OCLC will just have to take care of itself. But I'm very glad to hear that these things can soon be officially cataloged as graphics: a victory for common sense.

Cheers - Richard
