.... >However once you get to the end of the chapter it states >“Exception >Early printed resources. For early printed resources, if the leaves and pages >of plates are numbered, or if there are both numbered and >unnumbered plates, >record each sequence of leaves and pages of plates in the appropriate terms. >EXAMPLE >246 pages, 38 leaves of plates, 24 pages of plates >Disregard unnumbered sequences of plates,” >So my question is, are we disregarding all unnumbered sequences of plates or >just ones in Early printed resources? Toolkit is a bit >unclear. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Disregard unnumbered sequences of plates" begins a new part of the instruction. In the cases you do include unnumbered sequences of plates one also has to use the word "unnumbered", as in the RDA examples: ... 43 unnumbered leaves of plates ... 19 unnumbered pages of plates The use of qualifier "unnumbered" is also covered in RDA 3.4.5.8.
