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The fifty original examples illustrating the now outdated DCRB have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.

Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books). Please
