Dear cataloging colleagues,

In an effort to provide more help and ongoing training in rare materials cataloging, I'd like to use this list to post and respond to questions that arise from my Rare Book School courses<http://rarebookschool.org/courses/library/l30/>. (For background, refer to the RBMS 2016 Conference seminar on "Succession Planning for Rare Materials Cataloging," where I argue that good cataloging is a community endeavor.)

In the past, I'd encourage my students to post queries to DCRM-L, but if they were hesitant, to send them to me first. If they were yes-and-no, right-and-wrong sorts of questions, I'd answer them privately. If they involved matters of practice, &c., I'd encourage them to post to DCRM-L. I think other list members-especially the less-experienced-would find this useful.

I think we can do this without changing the nature of DCRM-L as a low-volume, high-relevance list. An exemplar of such a post follows.

Best,
Deborah
