Apologies for cross-posting; please reply off-list by noon on Tuesday, May 31 to [log in to unmask] John Myers recently wrote to the CC:DA email list about discussions taking place to formulate a proposal out of the WEMI DP that was presented to MARBI at the 2011 ALA Midwinter conference: http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2011/2011-dp03.html -- that paper discussed "defining a new field in the MARC 21 Authority, Bibliographic, and Holdings formats to identify that the record is for a Work, Expression, Manifestation or Item." I would appreciate any feedback ARLIS members have about "the necessity, desirability, or inadvisability of moving forward in the direction offered by 2011-DP03, namely, of being able to distinguish records as distinctly recording the attributes/elements applicable to the individual WEMI categories (as an alternative to the current composite record approach)." I will compile feedback and report to John and the CC:DA list. Names can be changed to protect the innocent, if desired.
