007  Physical Description Fixed Field (NR)

Code a is used for all cartographic materials except globes.

Code c indicates that the item involves a medium intended to be used or processed by a computer.

007		cj|na
[Item is an electronic resource (007/00); magnetic disk (01); dimensions 3 ½ in. (04)]

Code d indicates that the item is a globe which is defined as the model of a celestial body, usually the earth or the celestial sphere, depicted on the surface of a sphere.

Code f indicates that the item is tactile material which is defined as material intended to be read or interpreted by touch.

Code g indicates that the item is projected graphic material which is defined as a two-dimensional representation intended to be projected without motion by means of an optical device, for example, a filmstrip, slide, or transparency (includes x-rays).

007		go|cjbff
[Item is projected graphic material (007/00);a filmstrip (01); in color (03); on safety film (04); the sound is separate from the medium (05) on magnetic tape in a cassette (06); and the filmstrip is 35 mm. (07)]

Code h indicates that the item is a microform. Microform is a generic term for any medium, transparent or opaque, bearing microimages. A microimage is a unit (e.g., a page) of textual, graphic, or computer-generated material that is contained on aperture cards, microfiche, microfilm, microopaques, or other microformats and that is too small to be read without magnification. Microforms may be reproductions of existing textual or graphic materials or they may be original publications.

Code k indicates that the item is nonprojected graphic material. This is defined generally, as a two-dimensional pictorial representation, whether opaque (for example, print, photoprint, drawing) or transparent, but not intended to be projected for viewing (for example, a photographic negative).

007		kl|ao
[Item is a nonprojected graphic (007/00); a technical drawing (01); in a single color (03); is on paper (04); has no secondary support material (05).]

Code m indicates that the item is a motion picture, which is defined as a series of still pictures on film, with or without sound, designed to be projected in rapid succession to produce the optical effect of motion.

Code o indicates that the item is a kit, which is defined as a mixture of various components issued as a unit and intended primarily for instructional purposes. No one component is identifiable as the predominant component of the item. Examples are packages of assorted materials, such as a set of K-12 social studies curriculum material (books, workbooks, guides, activities, etc.), or packages of educational test materials (tests, answer sheets, scoring guides, score charts, interpretative manuals, etc.).

Code q indicates that the item is notated music, which is defined as graphic, non-realized representations of musical works, both in printed and digitized manifestations. It includes musical scores and/or parts, diagrammatic representations, tablature, instructions for chance compositions, pictures or paintings intended as musical compositions, square note notation, klavirskribo, chant notation, neumes, braille, and other ways of representing the four components of musical sound: pitch, duration, timbre, and loudness. Notated music is often the means for communicating to the performer(s) how the musical work notated therein is to be realized in sound.

Code r indicates that the item is a remote-sensing image or remote-sensing map. This is an image produced by a recording device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object under study.

Code s indicates that the item is a sound recording, defined as a disc, tape, film, cylinder, or wire on which sound vibrations have been registered so that the sound may be reproduced, or paper rolls on which the notes of a musical composition are represented by perforations in the paper and from which sound can be mechanically produced.

Code t indicates that the item is text, defined as printed or manuscript material that is accessible to the naked eye (e.g., a book, a pamphlet, a broadside).

Code v indicates that the item is a videorecording, defined as a recording on which visual images, usually in motion and accompanied by sound, have been registered. It is designed for playback by means of a television set.

Code z indicates that the item is not identified by one of the other 007 code values or that its multiple physical forms are not being specifically denoted.
