[DCRM-L] Informal announcement: DCRM(G) is published!

[Sotelo, Aislinn]

Hi Erin,



So glad to have this! Congratulations to everyone who made this happen!



Do you have a better idea now of when the MARC Standards Office is going to approve "dcrmg" for use in the 040 $e? One of our catalogers has cataloged according to DCRM(G), but we can't code it as such yet.



Thanks!

Aislinn

The editors of Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Graphics) are pleased to announce that DCRM(G) is now available at http://rbms.info/dcrm/dcrmg/ as a free PDF. It will also be included in the next release of Cataloger's Desktop. (As many of you already know, we declined the privilege of being the last, or one of the last, printed books to come from CDS; that would have prevented us from being able to offer it as a free download until the entire print run had sold at $70/copy).







A formal announcement, co-issued by RBMS and the Library of Congress, will be coming soon, as will the official okay from the MARC Standards Office to use "dcrmg" in the 040$e.







Stay tuned for information about training opportunities.







Thanks to everyone on DCRM-L for your help and encouragement on this project!







Erin Blake

Chief editor of DCRM(G)
