(borrowed from an e-mail from Steven Baljkas, discussing the value of having
model records available to catalogers for various material types)

> For many cataloguing workers, exactly how the template for a record
> works probably doesn't matter. What does matter is that it have/indicate the
> required fields AND that, in as many cases as possible, predetermined
> information be there complete at the start.
(thus the value of a model record)

> So, for example, if you were cataloguing kit materials (fairly common in
> many schools), you'll probably have at least 1 007 tag as well as the
> standard 008 tag. If your school regularly had kit items with a CD-ROM, you
> would set the value in 007 to whatever we are calling electronic resources

> for illustrative matter, audience, indexing, language, etc.

> like web pages. Any standardised notes for specific materials would be part

> resources.

I believe Steven would be willing to create some model records
