[DCRM-L] 510 citations

[Manon Theroux]

Here is a second example, somewhat different from the first, where the
resource being cataloged is not described in the reference source at all,
even in brief form. So maybe there is a stronger case for avoiding the 510
field in this one? The reference source is being used to justify the
supplied range of publication dates:

26X ... $c [between 1791 and 1820?]
500  John Cary was associated with the no. 181 Strand address between 1791
and 1820; see Maxted, I. London book trades, 1775-1800.

vs.

26X $c [between 1791 and 1820?]
500  John Cary was associated with the no. 181 Strand address between 1791
and 1820; see Maxted
510  Maxted, I. London book trades, 1775-1800

Maxted is not a bibliography or catalog. It is a directory (its subtitle is
"a preliminary checklist of members") containing a list of book trade
personnel. Each entry is annotated with information about when/where that
person/firm operated. At least some entries also include a list of books
produced by the person/firm, but I don't know if such lists are intended to
be complete. The entry for Cary does not cite the resource being cataloged;
a page number could be provided in the Maxted reference but it would refer
only to the page on which the Cary entry appeared, not to a published
description of the item being cataloged, so I omitted it (though in a 500
field I think it would not be as potentially misleading as in a 510 field).



Note that Maxted also issued a separate related publication, with the same
title proper and the subtitle "a topographical guide ..."), which appears
to be organized by street address rather than by person/firm. So, maybe the
citation form in 500/510 would need some qualifying information, which I
think SCF principles would have us add in parentheses, something like this:



Maxted, I. London book trades, 1775-1800 (preliminary checklist of members)



Both of these Maxted works have been (or are in the process of being)
coverted to online resources on the Exeter Working Papers in Book History

personnel, 1775-1800)
