<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’ve been following this conversation—which I find very interesting—quite closely and agree that this seems restrictive. But my greater puzzlement comes from the inclusion of maps in the category of the non-textual.
Am I just to understand “non-textual” in this context as meaning “containing no textual component *<b>beyond</b>* the text that may or may not be present in the graphic material?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">This appendix provides guidance for cataloging formally published portfolios, books of plates, etc. bearing formal title pages when graphic material characteristics are
the primary focus of the description. The primary differences from book cataloging are the presence of the general material designation “graphic,” and a statement of extent counts and describes images instead of focusing on pagination. An institution might,
for example, decide to catalog volumes that consist chiefly or entirely illustrations as books when the images are reproductive prints, and as graphic material when the images themselves are works of art (see introductory section X on precataloging decisions).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">To date, my repository has largely followed the distinction described in that final sentence. For records I see in OCLC as well, volumes of reproductive prints are much more frequently described as books (with
DCRMB) than as graphics. In DCRMR, they’d all be graphics? I’d be okay with such a change, though it is significant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
