<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">In answer to Brittney's question, it's not so much that we've "chosen" 245$h over 245$k as that we haven't stopped doing what we've always done: our old OPAC was configured to search 245$h as a drop-down option in Advanced search, and
people made good use of it (in fact, in a Zoom talk at Penn on Monday, Peter Stallybrass told people to type "realia" into the Folger catalog to find cool things -- researchers using cataloging jargon with other researchers!).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For newly cataloged manuscripts, we've been using both $h and $k -- we only use "manuscript" in $k if it's a handwritten document, so it doesn't always look redundant (for example,
<b><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#111827;background:white">Letter from Edgar Lee Masters, Chicago, to William Stanley Braithwaite, Cambridge, Mass. [manuscript] : signed typescript, 6 April 1916.</span></b>)

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We use DCRM(G) when cataloging graphic materials, and 245$h is still a thing with 040$e dcrmg, so we haven't considered using $k there. And if we did use it, I'm sure we'd bracket it in transcribed titles.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That being said, the MARC standard sure makes it sound like $k is only to be used for mixed material and collections. What's up with that?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">At my previous institution and the one I’m at now we use the $k to indicate the form for manuscripts and other non-book materials and that seems to do the trick as far replacing the usefulness

using the $k incorrectly all these years so I’m curious - is there any particular reason why y’all have chosen $h over $k?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
