Pam-- I asked this question before, and received a helpful response from Dave Reser of LC, that using terms in common usage (see 3.4.1.5) in the 300 $a is allowable.
He forwarded me these examples: 2011311037 (CD-ROM as accompanying material in 300 $e) 2012408410 (DVD-ROM as accompanying material in separate 300$a) 2010615056 (compact discs in 300 $a) 2010450160 (CD as accompanying material-- spoken word in 300$e) Certainly, I would argue that using "1 videodisc" instead of 1 DVD would be less helpful to patrons, as there is more than one type of videodisc out there. (Note--the 338 carrier type would still be videodisc.) b Benjamin Abrahamse Cataloging Coordinator Acquisitions, Metadata and Enterprise Systems MIT Libraries 617-253-7137 From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca] On Behalf Of Pam Withrow Sent: Monday, March 18, 2013 12:53 PM To: RDA-L@listserv.lac-bac.gc.ca Subject: Re: [RDA-L] Corrected DVD sample I have a question about the DVD examples, and would appreciate some clarification, please. The Toolkit states "Record the extent of the resource by giving the number of units and an appropriate term for the type of carrier as listed under 3.3.1.3." Therefore, wouldn't we use "1 videodisc" rather than "1 DVD"?
