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.
Many thanks,
Dan Lipcan
