As I suggested before, we could establish a list of values for citations to be used in MODS <genre> if Bruce wants to provide them. Alternatively we might consider the genres listed in the proposed OpenURL standard (we would establish as a source to be used with MODS genre and perhaps MARC 655). They are: Journal Issue Article Conference Proceeding Preprint Book Book item Report Document Dissertation Patent For further information see: http://library.caltech.edu/openurl/StandardDocuments/KEV_Guidelines-20031112.pdf (which is listed at http://library.caltech.edu/openurl/Standard.htm) (Thanks to Caroline Arms at LC for bringing this to my attention.)
