Aloha,
Having searched the archives I found several message on this topic but
no consensus, as far as I could tell.
In AACR2 in the 300 $b subfield we recorded the fact that a book
consisted of all illustrations. RDA has no corresponding rule.
Looking at various RDA cataloging policy statements at a number of
institutions available online I see "all illustrations" recorded in 300 $b.
In April 2012 the PCC SCT RDA Records Task Group put out a .pdf file
with sample RDA-consistent records. I see a number of records with the
wording "all illustrations" in 300 $b.
On Autocat some people have said that 300 $b should have only
"illustrations" and that a note would be included to say that the book
consists solely of illustrations.
Tomorrow I plan to talk about illustrative matter in class. One of the
books I have been using for years is _Gods man : a novel in woodcuts_ by
Lynd Ward.
How would the participants on this list handle this?
Are there any plans to clarify this in an upcoming update of RDA?
Have a safe and joyful day,
