There is an incorrect label in the Basic Item Type search filter list PINES would like to change. Electronic Resources is used in the Basic list:
However, that is not really a choice in the MARC Type codes (see http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html or http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/type.shtm If you switch to Advanced, Electronic Resources becomes what it should be in Basic - Computer file: The codes for MARC Type, which this field appears to index from, do not include "electronic resources". Current cataloging practice for electronic resources is to code for the most significant aspect of the resource. For example, if a textual resource, the record will be coded a for language material; if it is an e-audio, it will be coded I or j. As a result, e-book or e-audio titles will not likely be coded m for computer files and will therefore not retrieve in a search filter for Electronic Resources. Having electronic resources as a filter label here is misleading and PINES would like to change the label if at all possible. We would like to know if it is just a simple label change somewhere in the code we can make, or if it is a bug we need to report? Elaine Hardy _____ J.
