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

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

/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.
