Adam -- I'm not getting the same reading at all. The scope specifically includes 'born-digital' resources as a separate category (in addition to the two categories that reference print...plus 'print' doesn't equal 'text' in any case). Are you thinking 'monographic titles' = text? To me, the cataloging definition of monograph has to do with type of issuance, not format. Just not sure where you're getting this interpretation.
