Subject: approx. plate count

I need to know the best way to record an approx. plate count in the
statement of extent. The book I'm cataloging has a lot of plates (over
100) and it is very large, hard to manipulate and the plates are
awkwardly arranged. Every record/description I've found for it gives a
different number but all seem to fall with a range of 108-114. Is "ca.
#" a valid option here?



One more thing, I am trying to keep up with the develpment of RDA and how
it will affect the DCRM cataloging rules. Can you recommend any sites or sources
that discuss this topic? 

Thanks,
