<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif";color:black">In terms of more precisely encoded data, I just noticed that the RBMS printing and published terms includes all of the basic formats, so while I had recorded (12mo.) only
in the 300 $c, with a 500 note about gathering D in octavo, I added the controlled vocabulary terms. I considered using the $3 to specify which gatherings were which and decided that was overkill, though I am willing to be persuaded otherwise (the record is
OCLC #929987968).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif";color:black">The format terms don’t seem to be in frequent use, however, with roughly 500 records in OCLC using octavo format, and fewer than 100 using duodecimo. Given that format headings
could be easily and quickly added (particularly with macros), is there any reason why I shouldn’t be routinely adding them where format is identifiable? If not routinely added, under what conditions should they be added?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">This situation happens rarely enough that there isn't need for adjudication. Do what makes most sense. In a situation like this, in the past I'd probably have recorded it as 12mo
in the 300‡c and made a note that D was 8vo, but given the advantages of search and index deriving from more precisely encoded data, I would re-think that decision if it comes up again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
