It's not really clear to me what (if anything) the user will see of this 3xx data, and I don't know if there is (yet) a "best way" to encode it. But our practice so far has been only to mark accompanying material with $3:
1. Book with CD-ROM: 336 text ǂb txt ǂ2 rdacontent 337 unmediated ǂb n ǂ2 rdamedia 337 computer ǂb c ǂ2 rdamedia ǂ3 accompanying material 338 volume ǂb nc ǂ2 rdacarrier 338 computer disc ǂb cd ǂ2 rdacarrier ǂ3 accompanying material 2.

We could use some advice. What’s the best way to input the 336-338 fields in these scenarios? 1. Book with CD-ROM. CD-ROM contains PDF files (textual material) 336 text ǂb txt ǂ2 rdacontent ǂ3 book 336 text ǂb txt ǂ2 rdacontent 337 unmediated ǂb n ǂ2 rdamedia ǂ3 book 337 computer ǂb c ǂ2 rdamedia ǂ3 CD-ROM 338 volume ǂb nc ǂ2 rdacarrier ǂ3 book 338 computer disc ǂb cd ǂ2 rdacarrier ǂ3 CD-ROM … Or since both the book and contents of the CD-ROM consist of text, would you perhaps input only one 336 field? Such as… 336 text ǂb txt ǂ2 rdacontent ǂ3 book & CD-ROM Or 336 text ǂb txt ǂ2 rdacontent ǂ3 book and CD-ROM 2. Book with DVD-ROM. DVD-ROM consists primarily of video clips. It also has a few forms. Would this be correct? And would you add 336-338 fields to show that the DVD-ROM has some textual material as well, or would you focus on just the primary content, the video clips? text ǂb txt ǂ2 rdacontent 336 two-dimensional moving image ǂb tdi ǂ2 rdacontent ǂ3 DVD-ROM 337 unmediated ǂb n ǂ2 rdamedia 337 computer ǂb c ǂ2 rdamedia ǂ3 DVD-ROM 337 video ǂb v ǂ2 rdamedia ǂ3 DVD-ROM 338 volume ǂb nc ǂ2 rdacarrier 338 computer disc ǂb cd ǂ2 rdacarrier ǂ3 DVD-ROM Thank you in advance, Sevim McCutcheon Catalog Librarian, Assoc.
