[DCRM-L] RDA BSR now covers DCRM(B, G, M) but has an odd 007/00 note

[Erin Blake]

Thanks, Jackie.



Just to clarify -- the RDA BSR for "Rare Materials" was written by a group of BSC members with the intention from the beginning that it would be expanded to cover other modules as they became available. It's not that Rare Books was changed at the last minute. It was deliberately called Rare Materials from the start, and Becky Culbertson was working directly with BSC members and/or DCRM editors earlier.

Erin, I somehow learned a couple months ago about the BSR revision and the fact that it was going to incorporate/update details for rare and special materials, so I weighed in in quite a bit of detail, since LOTS of things weren't right. At the last minute, and contrary to my humble recommendations, they expanded the "rare books" section to include "rare" graphics and music, and that bit of garbling ensued. It seems the revision group was somewhat torn about whether to include aspects of "special" cataloging under the other format sections.

I'll get in touch with the folks in charge and report back.

Thanks for raising this. I had missed the error.

Just re-read what I wrote about the BSR, and realized it's unclear. Here's a translation: the Rare Materials 007 should have been changed so that the section only applies graphics, and to microforms of books and music. Something went wrong, because the new wording doesn't make sense.
