RDA "computer" (i.e. electronic) carriers: computer card computer chip cartridge computer disc computer disc cartridge computer tape cartridge computer tape cassette computer tape reel online resource
How do inhand e-books fit into this? They are acquired as PDF files online, but when installed and in use are not online. We have catalogued well over 30,000 of those. We have never catalogued a computer card, cartridge, cassette, or reel. We have catalogued CD-R0Ms. E-books are very rarely used on a computer, but rather on electronic readers. Video games are accessed by play stations, not computers. Of the electronic resources we catalogue, only CD-ROMs are used on a computer. In addition, "online resource" is far too general as a carrier term; including websites, video games, streaming videos, etc., all of which we have catalogued. RDA seems very out of date to me, in relation to what we are now doing. __ __ J.
