Examples to Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) (or, DCRM(B)) 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The fifty original examples illustrating the now outdated DCRB have been, or are being, revised to reflect changes made when Bibliographic Standards and ACRL adopted DCRM(B).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 and a selection of examples and accompanying rules provided by volunteers.

This platform will allow catalogers other interested individuals to comment upon the use of specific rules, or the application of rules in general. All comments will be 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.

To comment on the current Examples, or post examples of your own, please see the Instructions. Please note:  First-time comments are reviewed by the moderator before being displayed. There may be a delay. We appreciate your patience.

A heartfelt thanks to James P. Ascher and Eduardo Tenenbaum.

Thanks very much,

Jane Carpenter and Nina Schneider, co-chairs
