In December, 2002 a series of e-mails raised certain questions about
spacing as stated in LCRI 1.0C and in the MARC 21 Format for
Bibliographic Data. In response, CPSO committed to revising LCRI 1.0C on
punctuation/spacing. That has been done and the revision forms part of
the next LCRI update package now in press. As a preview, an explanatory
statement and the revised LCRI 1.0C have been mounted on the CPSO Web
page at the following address: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/

For LC staff, the revision incorporates the LC/CONSER practice for
recording temporary/uncertain data and no longer calls for leaving three
spaces when recording holdings or dates withing angle brackets, thus
normalizing practice across the board for integrating resources,
monographs, and serials. For LC monograph catalogers, the revision to
LCRI 1.0C replaces DCM B7, which will be cancelled.
