Term
Definition (draft AACR3 where given, or
AACR2)
players, etc. Audio media do not include
those that convey recorded sound as an
integral component of a moving image or
as an integral component of a multimedia
resource produced for use with a
computer.
Comments
notes that the distinctions made in the
Glossary entries for “audio media”,
“digital media”, and “video media” are
difficult to follow, and that these
terms may have a different
understanding in common use. We
recommend that these entries be
rewritten with an eye toward clear,
simple language.
