[DCRM-L] Using manuscript waste (term vs. practice)

[Matthew C. Haugen]

 I'm sure I've used the term "illegally" when MS waste appears in context
other than a binding. Our medieval MS folks want to be able to find MS
waste in incunabula, wherever it appears and this seems to be a workable
solution. But I understand that binding specialists may not care about
waste outside of  I was going to suggest a parallel term in the paper
evidence thesaurus (or maybe repairs are more provenance related?), but the
possibility Jane suggests of a materials thesaurus, along with the
anticipated integration of the existing thesauri seem like better solutions
in the long run. A lot of terms seem to have aspects applicable to more
than one thesaurus.

Nina,
The term Printed waste should probably be de-coupled from its binding
qualifier.  If "Printed waste" were instead part of the materials
vocabulary that CV is contemplating building, it could be used in a variety
of contexts

For immediate use, I would use Printed waste (Binding), which I think is
more descriptive than Mending, especially if you consider "binding" to
refer to the structure of the book as a whole,  not limited to  just the
covers.  (Unfortunately this reasoning wouldn't apply to the question of
the single printed song sheet that Andrea describes).

I didn't get a response to this, so it's still up in the air. Any opinions
out there????

Thanks!

Hey Nina, as it turns out, I have an analogous situation, where a single
printed song sheet has been repaired on the verso with printed waste.  No
binding involved.  Is there any "legal" way to use Printed waste, outside
of the binding thesaurus?
Grateful thanks, andrea

Hi all,

I have a French book (1785) that has a damaged half-title leaf. As a
repair, this leaf has been mounted on what appears to be a 19th C. letter
(the verso of the letter is blank and it has been adhered, text-side down,
making it difficult to read).

I'd like to trace this situation in my catalog record. Is this an
appropriate time to use "manuscript waste" in the RBMS Controlled
Vocabularies Binding Terms thesaurus? I've never used the term and I
usually think of manuscript waste as part of the binding, rather than the
repair of a page, but just wanted to get an opinion before adding it.

Thanks!

Nina
