A task force of ALA's Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access
has been asked to examine the rules in AACR2 for cataloging of early
printed materials (AACR2 2.12-2.18) and make recommendations, which will
be forwarded to the Joint Steering Committee. Recommendations might
include revising the rules to bring them more in line with other rare
cataloging standards, or elimination of the rules altogether. The task
force would therefore like to hear from those in the cataloging
community who use AACR2 2.12-2.18. Please contact me at
[log in to unmask] by April 9, 2004, if you use these rules,
even if only occasionally, and would be willing to respond to some brief
questions about your cataloging practices regarding rare materials.
I look forward to hearing from you.
