------------------
A task force of ALA's Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access has
been asked to examine the rules in AACR2 for cataloging of early printed
materials (AACR2 2.12-2.18) and make recommendations, which will be
forwarded to the Joint Steering Committee. Recommendations might include
revising the rules to bring them more in line with other rare cataloging
standards, or elimination of the rules altogether. The task force would
therefore like to hear from those in the cataloging community who use
AACR2 2.12-2.18. Please contact me at [log in to unmask] by April 5 if
you use these rules, even if only occasionally, and would be willing to
respond to some brief questions about your cataloging practices regarding
rare materials.

I look forward to hearing from you.
