A question was filed with lchelp4...@loc.gov as to whether or not a dust
jacket of a print resource that consisted of pages was considered, in the
course of RDA cataloguing, to be within the resource. PSD responded on
June 12, 2012 as follows:
Our interpretation has been that the jacket is not considered
part of the resource.

Under AACR there was an LCRI that basically said we were not to consider
information coming from a dust jacket as coming from a prescribed source of
information (presumably because it could get lost)
A ?Quick Search? of RDA has not turned up any mention of a dust jacket
(except in an example under ?Item? data), so I am wondering whether this
bias against the dust jacket still remains.
It is not listed at 2.2.2.2 (Resources Consisting of One or More Pages,
Leaves, Sheets, or Cards (or Images of One or More Pages, Leaves, Sheets, or
Cards); unless it is now to be considered a cover, even though it is not
actually attached to the resource.
It is also not listed at 2.4.2 (Other Sources of Information) not even in
the LCPCCPS.
I?m inclined to think of it like ?accompanying material? (2.2.4.a) and so
treat it as an ?Other Source of Information?.
Does anyone have any official word, or any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Deborah
