Tom created a prototype entry screen:

Main Author
Title Proper
Other Title
Statement of Responsibility
Place of Publication
Publisher
Date of Publication
Extent
Illustrations
Size
  

Umm. Where is the distinction between surname and forename entry,
required by MARC? Corporate main entry vs. personal main entry?

Where is uniform title as main entry or filing uniform title?

Where are GMD, or content/media/carrier terms?

Where are edition statement and material specific data?

Where are the distinctions among various 264s?

Where is collation for nonbook material, which often does not include
ize, but rather other elements such as speed?

Where are the various MARC 5XX notes which requite exact coding?

Where are subject and added entries?

Where are linking and series entries?

This type of entry screen would work for a minority of the material we
catalogue.

I still like those numbers.
