[DCRM-L] RBMS Controlled Vocabularies: scope notes for public comment and meeting 6/8

[Hoover, Sarah]

Dear colleagues,

The RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group (CVEG) is announcing a new batch of scope notes available for public comment on our blog. These proposed scope notes are for existing terms in the RBMS Controlled Vocabulary for Rare Materials Cataloging. Scope notes will be available for public comment from June 3, 2026, through June 17, 2026. After the public review period, CVEG will discuss the comments and make necessary changes before updating the vocabulary.
