<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In addition to noting that the materials were printed using lithography in a MARC 500 field, you may also consider using
<a href="https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/3xx/340.html#subfieldd">340 $d</a> (physical medium > information recording technique). The term “lithography” is available for use in the
<a href="https://www.rdaregistry.info/termList/RDAproductionMethod/">RDA Production Method</a> vocabulary. The 340 would then look like this:<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">340 $d lithography $2 rdapm<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">It may also be possible to use a 655 genre term “Lithographs,” but I would hesitate to do this for text-only lithographs. Lithographs are considered prints in Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (lcgft),
Thesaurus for Graphic Materials (gmgpc), and Art & Architecture Thesaurus (aat), which implies that they are graphic, rather than solely textual, materials. The scope of LCGFT might provide the most wiggle room for applying “Lithographs” to text-only lithographs,
but consider your collection holistically before applying it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this message finds you well. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently working on cataloging rare books and would like to reach out with a question regarding the cataloging of Lithographs (Text not photos).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a specific field in the metadata where I should indicate "Lithographic Print" under the printing technique or material type?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could outline the specific fields that should be used when cataloging lithographs to ensure consistency and accuracy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for your assistance.<o:p></o:p></p>
