If I look at the OpenURL genre list, it does add a few things that I'm looking for. It leaves out some things that are common in citation formats, though, like personal communications (which could cover letters, memos, emails, etc.), thesis and hearings. One possibility I think I've discussed with Rebecca is coming up with a list that covers all the genres currently covered in existing bibliographic formats like Endnote, Reference Manager, BibTeX, etc. That would in essence be a superset of the OpenURL list. I'm happy to do that, but will probably need some help. This still leaves the question of whether some of these genre terms ought to make it into the MARC list. I guess this gets back to Karen's questions. How would you propose to deal with this Karen? Bruce
