RMC monographs are generally cataloged beyond the BIBCO standard record for rare books. If all access points in the record are covered by authority records, the RMC cataloger codes the record as PCC. If the record contains provenance tracings, local subject headings (e.g. for publication date), or other headings not covered by authority records, it cannot be coded as PCC.
