[DCRM-L] RBMS Controlled Vocabularies: terms for public comment

[Hoover, Sarah]

Dear colleagues,

The RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group (CVEG) is announcing a new batch of terms available for public comment on our blog. These proposals have already gone through CVEG committee review and are for new terms in the RBMS Controlled Vocabulary for Rare Materials Cataloging (CVRMC) and the RBMS Relationship Designators.  Terms will be available for public comment from May 18, 2026, through June 2, 2026. After the public review period, CVEG will discuss the comments and make necessary changes before updating the vocabularies.
