The point of added content terms "text" and "still image" for an item
with extensive illustrations?
Well you may ask. I think the whole replacement of GMDs with media
terms to be a mistake. But given that mistake, and without knowing
what use would be made of ,edia terms (in creating display, in
crosswalk to Bibframe), I think the point is to be truthful. For
items such as illustrated childrens' books, art exhibition
catalaogues, art history books, and some travel books; the
illustrations are as important an aspect of content text.
The library might opt to display above all other data:
Formet: volume ; text, still image
The 300 unit name should be more exact than the 338 carrier term,
e.g., the 338 says online resource, while the 300 unit name might be
PDF; the 338 says videodisc, thile the 300 unit name might be DVD.
Repeating the 338 term in 300 is certainly redundant. Yes, 300 says
"ill." or "illustrations". but stanardized 33X might be easier to use
as search criteria.
