[DCRM-L] inappropriate merges of AAS IRs

[Allison Rich]

Jackie:

We code all of our records, aside from the map records and modern book 
records with the #040 $e. We vote also to leave those out of deduplication.

> Many thanks to Kathleen Haley of AAS for alerting us to her problem

> turnaround probably won't be immediate.

> Kathleen noted that she would like to see the exemption to 
> deduplication of records that have rare book codes in 040 $e extended 
> to 1900 or 1901. We're eager to hear opinions (with reasoning) from as 
> many voices as possible. Thanks to those who have already weighed in.
