Founded in 1884 as a cooperative reference library for the Club's bibliophile membership, the Grolier Club Library today welcomes any qualified researcher needing to explore this focused research collection-dating from the sixteenth century and earlier through the present day-of more than 100,000 volumes on the art and history of the book: bibliographies, histories of printing and graphic processes, type specimens, and fine and historic examples of printing, binding, and illustration. The Library has particularly strong holdings in the literature of collecting and the book trade, including book catalogues of all types: printed and manuscript inventories of private libraries, catalogues of antiquarian booksellers, and book auction sales.

Invitation to comment on draft of "Examples to Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books)"

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nina Schneider <ninamschneider(a)yahoo.com> Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:35:38 -0700 *This message is being cross-posted* Examples to Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) is a work in progress. The Bibliographic Standards Committee of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ACRL has charged a subcommittee to update the second edition of Examples of Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books. The fifty original examples illustrating the now outdated DCRB have been revised to reflect changes made when Bibliographic Standards and ACRL adopted DCRM(B). There are also a number of examples from Deborah J. Leslie’s Rare Book Cataloging workshop from Rare Book School in Virginia and a selection of examples and accompanying rules provided by volunteers. To date, there are 84 examples. Members of BSC and RBMS have had a chance to comment. We are now reaching out to the larger community for input. The platform we’ve been using, Digress.it, allows catalogers and other interested individuals to comment upon the use of specific rules, or the application of rules in general. All comments are public. Please note: we are *not* asking for comments on the rules. We are asking for comments on whether the example(s) illustrate the rule(s) accurately and appropriately. Also note, that we will accept comments until July 1, 2011. At that point, the Examples and comments we receive will be sent to BSC for consideration during a close reading. Follow this link http://rbms.info/digress/ for the working draft and opportunity to comment on Examples to Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books). Please read the “Instructions for Commenting” before proceeding. For information on DCRM(B): http://www.rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/dcrm/dcrmtext.html For information on BSC: http://www.rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/index.shtml Please note: First-time comments are reviewed by the moderator before being displayed. There may be a delay. We appreciate your patience.
