DCRM(S) Area 0

[Jane Gillis]

To all those on the DCRB Revision List,

Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Serials) (DCRM(S)), the rules for 
cataloging rare serials, is now ready for your review. We are starting off 
this week with Area 0. We welcome all comments.

http://www.library.yale.edu/conser/documents/dcrs.html

The rules regarding Roman numerals and transcription of I/J and U/V/W will 
follow what is decided for all of DCRM. That discussion will occur 
separately and should not be part of the DCRM(S) discussion.

There will also be a CONSER module on cataloging rare serials. That will be 
the place where we explain how to apply these rules.  Comments will help us 
determine what needs to go into the CONSER Module.
