Consider a resource to be large print if both of these conditions are met:
  • The item is printed in characters in a 14 point or larger font
  • The item is labeled "large print"or "larger print"

r Regular print reproduction. Item is a reproduction in regular eye-readable print (e.g., a photocopy).
s Electronic. Item is intended for manipulation by a computer. The item may reside in a carrier accessed either directly or remotely.

Do not use code s for items that do not require the use of a computer (e.g., music compact discs and videodiscs).
