http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscope Apparently, stereographic images can also appear on slides, printed sheets, and iPhones, so, I would say that the carrier list might need updating for this media, but until that happens, it seems to me that the only option, to mirror the media, would be to use 'other' as the carrier type. But I'm assuming that you also have text in this resource, so perhaps the logic might be that as long as you record *a* carrier type you are covered. So, I would say to myself "what I have here are still images (Content) that can be accessed using a stereographic viewer (Media) or can be viewed unmediated (Media)-although not the way they were intended, although you can apparently force your eyes to see stereographically without a viewer-in a volume (Carrier)", so: Content Type (336$a): still image Content Type (336$a): text Media Type (337$a): stereographic Media Type (337$a): unmediated Carrier Type (338$a): volume Extent (300$a): [n] pages Nature of the Content(500$a): Stereographic images with commentary text So, let me ask Greta's question again: is it ok to list a Media Type, without also listing its specifically corresponding Carrier Type, as long as you *do* list a carrier type for other contents?
