RBMS Prejudicial Works terms
This is an ongoing experiment to record cataloging decisions on the application of RBMS Prejudicial Works terms. When you come across a work that makes you consider one of the terms, you can log your evidence and your decision. Decisions need not be final or objective. This is just to look back on subjective and personal cataloger’s judgement and determine if there are patterns which could inform future best practices for our collections.
