For starters, how about consulting others and adding "equipment" to
unmediated carriers? With the increase of hand held electronic
devices, this is the major library acquisition with which neither
AACR2 nor RDA copes well. While there are other lacuna, this is the
one we most often encounter.
MP-3 readers, iPads, Kindles, etc. are neither realia, electronic
resources, nor objects, in the usual sense of the terms.
It would also be helpful to have short alternate terms, e.g., "image",
"map", "globe", to use when the content phrase is too long to easily
display.
