I occasionally read the proposed revision. According to the document, a jacket will be added to preferred sources of information for resources consisting of pages, leaves, sheets, or cards.
The change results in a revision of the second paragraph of *2.3.1.1 *as suggested:* * *More than** **one title may appear in sources of information (such as on a title page, title frame; as a caption title, running title; on a cover, spine; on a title bar), on a jacket, sleeve, container, etc., or in material accompanying the resource*. I try to understand the sentence. Does it collocate “sources of information”, and “a jacket, sleeve, container, etc., or material accompanying the resources”? If following 2.2, “ a jacket, sleeve …” is also included in sources of information, although they are other sources of information. So, why we separate them? Also, is the change for a jacket as a part of resource itself clearly reflected in the sentence? The following is the current paragraph. It indicates that “a jacket, sleeve…” is not a part of the resource itself. It seems to be more logical. *2.3.1.1** **More than one title may appear in the resource itself (e.g., on a title page, title frame; as a caption title, running title; on a cover, spine; on a title bar), on a jacket, sleeve, container, etc., or in material accompanying the resource.* Is my understanding correct? Thank you.
