The Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) Bibliographic Standards Committee (BSC)<https://rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/> is soliciting and compiling feedback from the rare materials cataloging community to incorporate into the official response on the ICP by the Core Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access (CC:DA)<https://connect.ala.org/core/communities/community-home?CommunityKey=289a372f-3ec1-4cb0-8a75-902a1a18deb3>.
