rendering
Material other than a primary part or
component issued with, and intended to
be used with, the resource being
catalogued.
A pictorial representation of a building
intended to show, before it has been built,
how the building will look when
completed. See also Technical drawing.
CCC: 2.3: There is no [in-text]
definition for an alternative title.
ALA: ALA recommends the current
terminology “Accompanying material.”
As a whole, ALA does not believe the
use of ancillary correctly identifies the
relationship of this material.
ALA: Is the “before it has been built”
clause required What if the building
was never built The rendering may

Archival
resource
[ALA propose:] Archival resources consist
of the documents organically created,
accumulated, and/or used by a person or
organization in the course of the conduct
of affairs and preserved because of their
continuing value. These resources may be
aggregations of documents or discrete
items. These resources may also be
collections acquired and assembled by
archival repositories, individuals, and
other institutions that do not share a
common provenance or origin but that
reflect some common characteristic, for
example, a particular subject, theme, or
form.
ALA: Definition needed in the
glossary, to clear up confusion
whether all "manuscripts" are archival
resources (no, if they're treated
bibliographically) if "collection
assembled by a private collection" is
archival (it may be, but may also be a
collection of books, etc.), and that
"archival resource" may include
papers, records, individual
manuscripts, or assembled
collections." [Proposed definition
contributed by Society of American
Archivists – this may be the definition
from DACS – jb]

CCC: The term archival resource is
used throughout the rules (e.g.,
2.3.7.3, 2.9.5.3, 5.3.0.4, 6.3.1) and
should be defined in a subsection of
1.1 as well as in the Glossary. The
definition of archival resource should
