Illustrative<br />

matter<br />

Definition (draft <strong>AACR</strong>3 where given, or<br />

<strong>AACR</strong>2)<br />

page, title frame, title screen, etc.<br />

Illustrative matter refers to pictures,<br />

maps, portraits and other significant<br />

illustrations within the resource.<br />

Comments<br />

page immediately preceding the title<br />

page; also: the page itself.” [See<br />

www.mw.com]<br />

Alternatively, include a definition <strong>of</strong><br />

half-title page.<br />

ALA is skeptical about extending this<br />

concept to frames, screens, etc. It is<br />

based on the conventions <strong>of</strong> printed<br />

books and there seems no good<br />

reason to extend it by analogy to<br />

unrelated media. On the other hand,<br />

ALA would expect that titles on<br />

reproduced or virtual half-title pages<br />

would be included.<br />

ALA: The serials community within<br />

ALA is not happy with the definition <strong>of</strong><br />

“illustrative matter” in 3.6.6.1.<br />

Illustrative matter may itself be the<br />

primary content <strong>of</strong> a resource, with<br />

text being there to support the<br />

illustrations (as implied in 3.6.6.4).<br />

We are not convinced that a definition<br />

is actually necessary, but suggest that<br />

[this proposed definition] would be<br />

preferable to the definition in the<br />

draft.<br />
