>>> Kay D Guiles 12/15/2003 12:56:33 PM >>> 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. Kay Guiles CPSO
