ILLUSTRATIVE CONTENT
  • LC CORE ELEMENT for resources intended for children
  • RDA 7.15
  • Open list of vocabulary terms

This data is recorded in MARC 008/18 as applicable and field 300 $b

Sources: Take information on illustrative content from any source.

Recording Illustrative Content
If the resource contains illustrative content, record illustration or illustrations, as appropriate. Tables containing only words and/or numbers are not considered as illustrative content. Disregard illustrated title pages, etc., and minor illustrations.

Look below at LCPS 7.15.1.3 for the Alternative

“Generally do not record the type of illustrative content in place of or in addition to the term ‘illustration’ or ‘illustrations.’ ”

Optional Addition (7.15.1.3-Recording Illustrative Content)
Record the number of illustrations if their number can be ascertained readily (e.g., when the illustrations are listed and their numbers stated).
EXAMPLE
48 illustrations

<<<<-------->>>>
RDA VS AACR2 (Changes in treatment of illustrations in 300 field)
No abbreviations
“color” (not “col.”)
“sound” (not “sd.”)
“silent” (not “si.”)
“illustrations” (not “ill.”)
Color Content (Not LC Core) (RDA 7.17, LC-PCC PS-7.17.1.3)
Examples
color (illustrations are in color)
some color (10 maps, some of which are in color)
chiefly color (illustrations, most of which are in color)

Sources: Use evidence presented by the resource itself as the basis for recording the presence of color content in the resource. If desired, take additional evidence from any source.

Recording Colour Content
If the content of the resource is in colors other than black and white or shades of grey, record the presence of color using an appropriate term. Disregard colored matter outside the actual content of the resource (e.g., the border of a map).

LC practice: Use the spelling “color” when recording that term.

Answer from an expert from LC regarding illustrations (Note: LC policy): Under RDA only illustrations for resources intended for children is considered LC CORE in the bibliographic record. It is catalogers judgement to record the illustrations for other types of resources. So please use best judgement in providing this information if it is considered useful for users.

RDA -- INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

Resource Description and Access ( RDA ) is a standard for cataloguing that provides instructions and guidelines on formulating data for resource description and discovery. Intended for use by libraries and other cultural organizations such as museums and archives, RDA is the successor to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2), the current cataloging standard set for English language libraries. RDA was initially released in June 2010. In March 2012, the Library of Congress announced it will have fully implemented RDA cataloging by March 31, 2013.
