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.
