Attention cartographic catalogers:
The Bibliographic Standards Committee of ALA's Rare Books and
Manuscripts Section would like to know the level of interest among
cartographic catalogers in a cataloging tool for rare maps. The proposed
handbook would be similar to that for rare books, Descriptive
Cataloguing of Rare Books, currently in revision for a new edition and
web-based version. DCRB includes a companion volume, the
"Examples," which has each sample record in MARC format.
If sufficient interest in the project is expressed a formal proposal will be
made. Please reply to committee member Sandra Sider at
