Comments
seek out or avoid miniature scores;
they are not generally considered
useful for performance but are often
preferred for study. Because this
phrase applies to scores of varying
heights, dimensions alone cannot be
relied upon to guide catalog users to
identify a manifestation that meets
the AACR2 definition of miniature
score.

Mode of
issuance
A representation of a device or process
that may be modified for training or
analysis to emphasize a particular part or
function; it usually has movable parts that
can be manipulated.
We understand that there are some
ambiguities in using the AACR2
definition of miniature score – many
music libraries actually have some
miniature scores shelved in the
oversize section – however, in MLA’s
opinion, that difficulty is outweighed
by the usefulness of continuing to
support this concept in RDA.
ALA: 1.1.2 Mode of issuance needs to
be more sufficiently defined to clarify
some of the following situations:
* Is a PDF file the only intangible
resource that can be included under
the first bullet
* Can an HTML file also be a single
logical unit
*Can a website be a single logical
unit
