Hi again!

I don't think I would write up a content note in 520 since in 336 the content 
type is clearly defined as still image. Now, for « normal » still images (i.e. 
pictures on a sheet of paper or other 2D carrier), we never include terms like 
« ill. » or « images » since it would be redundant to say an image is 
illustrated! We simply recorded « colour », "b&w", « some colour », or even « 
colour and b&w » (if using ISBN (NB))  
Where I get a little confused, however, is when we're talking about still 
images gathered as a volume. I took for granted that, like still images in 2D 
format, we would not be allowed to repeat « images » or « illustration » since 
we already had the 336 specifying the book only contains images. 
Perhaps if I count the pages, I could then record:
65 unnumbered pages : some color ; 28 cm

Would that be better??? 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Even the AACR2 glossary does not have a definition of "photograph".  
But in the Autocat archives (a decade of so ago I think) you will find
the definition discussed.

Has any rule ever been universally followed?  Yes, cataloguers often
mistakenly call reproduced pictures "photographs".  

For hugh inconsistency consider the misinterpretation of the AACR2
rule on place of publication jurisdiction.  The rule has the *same* if
needed provision for transcribing or supplying jurisdiction, yet I have
seen:

Boston 
Boston, MA 
Boston, MA USA 
Boston, Mass. 
Boston, Mass. USA 
Boston [Mass.]
and even Boston [MA]

Just transcribe or supply the !@#$%^ jurisdiction!  A city known in
the Beltway may not be known in Tokyo.  It's faster to just give it
than to ponder, or consult a list as do the Australians.  Since "WA"
can be Washington State or Western Australia, I don't think postal
codes should be transcribed or supplied, unless part of the
publisher's address in parentheses following the jurisdiction.

At least we gained the option to supply jurisdiction added to RDA, as
opposed to putting it in a note.

We need a fuller RDA glossary, and one which does not include the word
being defined in the definition, and doesn't misdefine "computer".

In another post:

>"1 volume (non paginé) :$b en partie en couleur ;$c28 cm" 

How would the patron know it's pictures?  I suppose you could say so
in a 520, but I would like something in 300.

How about:

1 volume (non pagine) :$bimages en partie en couleur ;$c28 cm

You are saying that the images are some in colour.  It seems
appropriate me me to say to *what* "couleur" applies.  We are not
talking about the volume's dust cover or binding.
