Hi folks, Here's an interesting question that I'd like to get some feedback from you on. I'm wondering what you would record as a statement of extent if you were to catalog a PowerPoint presentation that's available online if you decided that you wanted to apply the optional rule at 9.5B3. This isn't purely hypothetical. Please have a look at the following resource: An atlas of anatomy for the American lobster, Homarus americanus http://www.vims.edu/tcs/Atlas%20of%20Lobster%20Anatomy%5Ffiles/frame.htm I've thought of several options that could be taken if one wanted to give a physical description for this resource: If I use a term from subrule .5B of one of the chapters of part 1, then I think that I would consider this a graphic material made up of electronic slides: 53 slides : col., digital, HTML file Or would you simply consider it an electronic text?: 1 electronic text : col. ill., HTML file Or would you opt for a term in common usage, perhaps: 1 PowerPoint presentation : col. ill., HTML file Interestingly, this is a PowerPoint file that has been converted to an HTML presentation. I originally thought I should use PowerPoint file instead of HTML file, but when you look at the URL and the underlying structure of the resource, it's made up of HTML files. Anyway, I'd love to hear how people might apply rule 9.5B3 to a resource like this. --Adam ************************************** * Adam L.
