[DCRM-L] New Terms for RBMS Controlled Vocabularies

[Carpenter, Jane]

Dear Colleagues,

The terms listed below-6 vocabulary terms and 1 relationship designator-were proposed by members of the rare materials community, and discussed at the Midwinter meeting of the Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group.

The editors are now soliciting comments on the draft scope notes they prepared, in order to capitalize on the expertise and experience of librarians and bibliophiles who may be familiar with these terms.
