Thanks, Renette.  I can see that you all have given this a lot of 
thought and that your needs are somewhat different from other 
non-preservation needs.

Because of this, I'm not sure that we are understanding each other so 
I've added a few more comments below and then will wait to hear the 
results of the meeting.  Think of this as fodder for discussion.

These records are taking the single record approach to new lengths!  As 
one of my colleagues put it:  "it looks like a poor man's FRBR record!"  
It's hard to know what a public user would make of these, but maybe as 
long as there's a URL, it won't matter.

We seem to be talking at cross-purposes here.  Outside of the 
preservation world, records with 533 fields have always represented only 
the reproduction.  Someone cataloging the original is not supposed to 
use a record with a 533 field, but input a new record for the print.  Of 
course this way of defining and describing a reproduction predates the 
current "single record for multiple formats" environment so it used to 
be understood that one record represented one format, and in records 
with a 533, that format was the reproduction. 

Now that single records can represent more than one format and also 
happen to look a lot like the old reproduction records, the waters are 
very muddied, indeed. I'm not against redefining the 533 field in the 
single record environment, but just pointing out that while a  revised 
533 note looks like a minor and harmless change, it actually represents 
a MAJOR change for many of us.

What you're really saying is: from now on, any record with a 533 
represents both the print and the reproduction.  In the preservation 
environment, this makes sense.  In the wider world of cataloging, 
libraries cataloging a reproduction are often doing it because they 
don't have the original.  What would a record for a reproduction-only 
look like?   Ironically, we might be forced to go back to following 
AACR2, basing the description on the reproduction alone and adding a 
note like a 534 to describe the original!  Do we know yet what RDA is 
going to say about reproductions and single records?
