<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
</span><a href="https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/3xx/340.html#subfieldd"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">340 $d</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> (physical medium > information recording technique). The term “lithography” is available for use in the
</span><a href="https://www.rdaregistry.info/termList/RDAproductionMethod/"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">RDA Production Method</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> 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>
