[Rev.] Speczjk and General Material Designations Rule 8.5Bl gives a list of specific material designations to be used in the physical description of materials covered by this chapter, but allows, optionally, other terms to be 12 Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 64 (Spring 1994) used. The various specific material designations would be apportioned among the GMDs P as follows: Activity card Activity card Chart Chart Flip chart Wall chart Filmstrip Filmslip Filmstrip Flash card Flash card Picture Art print Art re~roduction ~hotogra~h Picture Postcard Poster Radiograph Study print Slide Slide Stereograph Technical drawing Technical drawing Transparency Transparency Rule 9.5B1 authorizes the following terms for use in recording the specific material designation for a computer file: computer cartridge, computer cassette, computer disk, and computer reel. Effective immediately, add the term "computer discwto the list. (The term "disc" reflects the standardized spelling used by the computer industry for optical storage devices. The term "disk" reflects the spelling for magnetic storage devices.) Change the fourth example on page 232 under rule 9.5B1 in the printed text of AACR 2 to " 1 computer laser optical disc. " 9.5D1. [New] Change paragraph a) under rule 9.5D1 to read as follows: 'a) DiscsLDish.

Printed serials. mev.] I First Issue The basis for the description is the first issue of the serial. In determining which issue is first, disregard the date of publication, etc., and use the designation on the issues. f4 For serials that carry numeric or alphabetic designations, the first issue is the one with the lowest or earliest (in the alphabet) designation. For serials that do not carry numeric or Cataloging Service Bulletin, No. 64 (Spring 1994) 13 alphabetic designations, the first issue is the one with the earliest chronological designation. (If the actual first issue is not available, use these same guidelines to determine which issue should be used as the basis for the description.) Since the title page (or title page substitute) of the first issue is the chief source of information for a printed serial, a title page that is published later to cover one or more issues cannot be used as the chief source. (However, data from such a title page may be put into the note area when necessary.) If the description has been formulated from the first issue of a serial, the body of the entry remains unchanged throughout the life of the serial. If issues after the first have data different from those recorded in the body of the entry, record the different data in the note area as necessary. However, if the differences are in the title proper, create a separate record when appropriate (2 1.2C). (For changes in the main entry heading, see 2 1.3B.) Title Page Substitute If a serial lacking a title page has a title (the same title or different titles) on more than one source in the item, choose as the title page substitute the source that appears first in the preferred order of sources listed in the rule. Use the entire page from which the title was taken as the title page substitute, not just the caption am,masthead area, etc. Do not enclose in brackets any data found anywhere on that page. ESrception: In any instance in which the item has two or more different titles and the title that appears in a less preferred source is known (because of a trademark or other symbol that appears with it) to be the stable title that does not vary from issue to issue, use the source with the stable title as the title page substitute. Apply this exception also in any instance in which two or more issues are in hand and the title appearing in a less preferred source remains stable from issue to issue (e.g., if the masthead title remains stable but the cover title changes from issue to issue, use the masthead as the title page substitute).
