Re: [ARSCLIST] cataloging sound recordings

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

The fields involved MUST be completely searchable.  In the present MARC
format, they are not.

What is being considered here is a system for private collectors.   It must
be clear to these collectors and in their language.  If institutions
benefit, so much the better.

Before spending time on the same-old same-old, I'd have to be convinced the
time spent in looking over any propsed matrix, will  reveal that it is
capable of doing what will satisfy the experienced collector.

Otherwise, we DO need a different system, one that puts their need first.
