RDA has options ranging from giving all, to giving just the single
most prominent. This will be another area of variety among what
libraries do, and a requirement for local editing if we are to be
consistent without our own database.
SLC will opt for a middle path, including only those which are
significant. For example: an art exhibition catalogue; a much
illustrated art history, travel, or children's book, would get both
text and still image. A text with a few illustrations would get only
text. We hope that this middle path will result in less need to add
media terms to, or remove media terms from, derived records.
Field 336 still image would be used less that 008/18-21.
