Dear MELCOM UK members - I have recently been contacted by
John McIlwaine who is requesting some expertise and comments
on a proposed revision of parts of the DC classification
schedules on Islam - general historical periods and
especially Hadith. The Chair of this committee is Caroline
Kent of the BL, who is also Chair of the DC Editorial Policy
Committee who will be meeting with the DC editors in
Washington on June 16th. I have attached the full text of
the proposed revision and wondered if anyone would be able
to look over the schedules and indicate anything that seems
odd, inaccurate, inadequate, misleading. Please would you
send any comments to Caroline Kent ([log in to unmask])
or a comment sent direct to the Editor of DC, Joan Mitchell
([log in to unmask]) would of course be able to be considered at the meeting.
Many thanks,
Catherine
