RDA's first option is to use a term from the carrier list. Optionally RDA allows the use of a more exact term as unit name. Our clients much prefer a more exact term. Rather than "online resource", they want "PDF", "website", "streaming video", or whatever it is. We will use VHS, DVD, Blu-ray disc, CD, CD-ROM, etc., i.e., what people call them. So far as I know there is no list of more exact unit names. http://special-cataloguing.com/node/1417 http://special-cataloguing.com/node/1398 __ __ J.
