The editorial team for Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials
(Cartographic), or DCRM(C), will be holding a public hearing on the
draft document at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago on Saturday,
June 29, 2013, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel,
Skyway 260. In preparation, the editors (Todd Fell, Manon Théroux,
Nancy Kandoian, Laurence Creider, and Randal Brandt) invite you to
review the draft text. Expertise in cartographic materials cataloging
is NOT a requirement for readers. The editors are specifically looking
for feedback on sections that may be confusing or unclear to those
with no (or limited) experience cataloging cartographic materials.
They are also looking for any problems with the text, including, but
not limited to, typos, incorrect references, errors, etc. There are
also still a number of examples that are needed; suggestions to fill
in gaps will be greatly appreciated.
The draft text is available for viewing and downloading at
http://www.rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/dcrm/dcrmc/dcrmc.ht…
We welcome comments in person at the public hearing, as well as
comments in writing. Please send written comments by July 31 to the
following email address:
dcrmc-feedback(a)googlegroups.com
Feel free to forward this email to others who may be interested.
Background: DCRM(C), which provides guidance for the treatment of
early and rare cartographic materials, is part of the Descriptive
Cataloging of Rare Materials (DCRM) suite compiled by the ACRL/RBMS
Bibliographic Standards Committee. It is intended to replace the rules
for cataloging early cartographic materials currently found in Chapter
3 of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2) and
Cartographic Materials: A Manual of Interpretation for AACR2, Second
Edition (CM). It is also anticipated that the PCC RDA BIBCO Standard
Record (BSR) will be updated to incorporate guidance on using DCRM(C)
to create bibliographic records for early and rare cartographic
materials under RDA.
