Please remember that the GMDs (including [sound recording] and [electronic resource]) are separately subfield coded in MARC 21 ($h) so can be displayed or not as a local system wishes. By the way, the rules for GMDs in AACR2 and ISBD are indeed being reviewed to possibly change both the GMDs themselves and where they are placed within a bibliographic description. - Barbara Tillett Dr. Barbara B.

Maybe the rules should be changed? ;-) Seriously, though, it'd be unfortunate ten years from now, when everything's XML, to still retrieve online catalog records coded this way. When was this practice started: 30 or 40 years ago, before desktop computers even, much less XML? Bruce
