To return to the original topic, the new RDA definitions of "leaf" and "page":
It occurs to me that there's something else wrong with the definition of "page": "A unit of extent of text consisting of a single side of a leaf." It is too "paper-centric," or perhaps I should say "sheet-centric," since we've already established that volumes don't have to contain paper subunits only. Electronic books can and do have pages. But they don't have leaves. And e-books that are "born digital" never had them. -------------------------------------------------------- Kathie Coblentz, Rare Materials Cataloger Collections Strategy/Special Formats Processing The New York Public Library, Stephen A.
