I like this alternative much better. It would be very much simpler to have two distinct lists of extent terms. I would be tempted to display like this: (collection of 100 slides) >> Content type: still image (100 images) Media type: projected Carrier type: slide (100 slides) (3 vol. atlas) >> Content type: cartographic (1 atlas) Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume (3 volumes) (1 book containing 13 short stories) >> Content type: text (13 short stories) Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume (1 volume) If one wanted physical dimensions of the carrier, one could add that: Content type: cartographic (1 atlas) Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume (3 volumes) (54 x 28 cm) I offer the description of the short story collection as an indication of possibilities, (desirable or un-). > Thomas Brenndorfer > Guelph Public Library -- Adger Williams Colgate University Library 315-228-7310 awilli...@colgate.edu
