Physical Description Area – Extent of Item<br />

A. SMD<br />

Use “videodisc” as the specific material designation (SMD) in the 300 field subfield (a).<br />

It is recommended that a 538 note be given stating the item is a <strong>DVD</strong>.<br />

300 $a 1 videodisc (66 min.) : $b sd., col. ; $c 4 3/4 in. + $e 1 booklet ([10] p. :<br />

col. ill. ; 20 cm.)<br />

Notes used with the above example would include:<br />

538 $a <strong>DVD</strong>.<br />

500 $a Booklet features pieces by critic David Ehrenstein, screenwriter David<br />

Sherwin, <strong>and</strong> direc<strong>to</strong>r Lindsay Anderson.<br />

16<br />

[<strong>AACR2r</strong> 7.7B11, accompanying material note]<br />

If the example above were a <strong>Blu</strong>-<strong>ray</strong> Disc, the first note would change <strong>to</strong>:<br />

538 $a <strong>Blu</strong>-<strong>ray</strong> Disc.<br />

Optionally, rule 7.5B1 allows catalogers <strong>to</strong> use conventional terminology such as “<strong>DVD</strong>video”<br />

or “<strong>Blu</strong>-<strong>ray</strong> Disc” in the specific material designation area (SMD) of the 300 field<br />

subfield (a).<br />

300 $a 1 <strong>DVD</strong>-video (102 min.) : $b sd., b&w ; $c 4 ¾ in.<br />

300 $a 1 <strong>Blu</strong>-<strong>ray</strong> Disc (90 min.) : $b sd., col. ; $c 4 ¾ in.<br />

Note – There has been an informal underst<strong>and</strong>ing, based on Library of Congress<br />

practice of following Archival Moving Image Materials for moving images rather<br />

than Anglo American Cataloguing Rules, that the traditional terminology<br />

“videodisc” would continue <strong>to</strong> be used rather than conventional terminology.<br />

However, there may be libraries that choose <strong>to</strong> apply this option.<br />

B. Time<br />

The time given in subfield (a) of MARC 21 field 300 <strong>and</strong> recorded in the appropriate<br />

fixed field should be the time of the title recorded in field 245. Areas 1 through 6 of the<br />

bibliographic record refer <strong>to</strong> the title being cataloged, not <strong>to</strong> the special material. Times<br />

of supplementary material <strong>and</strong>/or special features may be given in the notes relating <strong>to</strong><br />

that material or those features.<br />

The running time may be taken from any source, including the container. If the stated<br />

running time conflicts with the actual running time, give the actual running time in the<br />

fixed field <strong>and</strong> physical description area <strong>and</strong> make a note about the stated running time.<br />

500 $a Duration stated on container: 56 min.
