I would ask that you please keep in mind my original list of real life
examples of these materials that I catalog day in and day out. How do these
things fit into the list of current unmediated carrier types?

Granted "kits" is a collective term, but a kit is more than the sum
of its parts, and describing the parts individually does not meet
patron needs, nor reflect
Carrier types have to go through the sieve of the RDA-ONIX framework, which
established the underlying attributes for these elements.

Why not? The resources usually come in a container after all.

Thanks, Lori,
I'd be happy to send this in to Kelley as a revision proposal. I look
forward to your sending me the interim guidelines.
In the meantime, I was hoping to generate some conversation about this on
this listserv. Do folks think this (adding "kit" to the list of unmediated

Julie,
If you want to pursue this as a revision to RDA, you can submit a
revision proposal through CC:DA. Proposals may be forwarded to CC:DA
through any voting member or through any of the groups represented on
CC:DA. OLAC is one of the groups represented and would be a good fit
for this t
I would say yes, just as much as an "object" is a kind of carrier. (Object

Here's the first question that comes to my sleep-deprived mind: is a
kit a kind of *carrier*?

Were RDA to adopt the term "kit" to its list of unmediated carrier types in
3.3.1.3, and were they to define it with not only the AACR2 verbiage but to
also add "a box of stuff" in more eloquent terms. I looked up "kit" in
Mirriam-Webster online, and found: *"(3)* *:* a set of parts to be assembled
OK, so you're just saying that you are going to add "kit" and "large print"
to your list of unmediated carriers. That makes more sense, I guess. Unless
adopted into RDA, it is a local practice, however.
So my black bear and pig lungs are still an "object" ... I'm fine with that.
