Fascicle
A reproduction simulating the physical
appearance of the original in addition to
reproducing its content exactly. See also
Reprint.
One of the temporary divisions of a
resource that, for convenience in printing
or publication, is issued in small
installments, usually incomplete in
themselves; they do not necessarily
coincide with any formal division of the
content into parts, etc. Usually the
fascicle is protected by temporary paper
wrappers. It may or may not be
numbered. A fascicle is distinguished from
a part by being a temporary division of a
resource rather than a formal constituent
unit.
ALA: Constituent is not defined in the
Glossary — component is. Is there a
reason component does not work here
(e.g., “… formal component unit.”
LC: Revise last sentence of the
definition to:
A fascicle is distinguished from a part
by being a temporary division of a
resource rather than a permanent
division.
