Definition |
The physical description of the item including the extent of the item and its dimensions. Use field 300 also for other physical details of the item and information concerning accompanying material. For information on punctuation, see the Punctuation section below. |
Guidelines |
In records formulated following cataloging rules based on International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), a relationship exists between prescribed ISBD punctuation and the identification of specific subfield data. RDA and AACR2 bibliographic records in WorldCat generally follow ISBD principles for description and punctuation. WorldCat accommodates both RDA and AACR2 bibliographic records. Prefer use of RDA forms when adding or editing elements of field 300, e.g., spelling out non-transcribed abbreviations, except those that represent measurements of time and physical dimensions. For guidance on describing and encoding the attributes of audio recording carriers, see “Supplement 1” of the Music Library Association’s Supplements to Best Practices for Music Cataloging Using RDA and MARC21. |

Subfields |
Descriptions of subfields ǂa, ǂb, ǂc, and ǂe and examples are listed in categories. |
| ǂa Extent |
The extent of the item. In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield ǂa includes all data up to and including the next mark of ISBD punctuation, e.g., a colon, a semicolon, or a plus sign, whether included or not. For books, use subfield ǂa for the number of pages and/or number of volumes.

However, repeat subfield ǂc when dimensions are associated with a repeated subfield ǂa. Also, if the dimensions of the score or parts differ, enter each dimension in a separate subfield ǂc following the score or part to which it pertains.

Punctuation |
For records containing ISBD punctuation, follow these instructions:
- Optionally, follow an initial subfield ǂ3 by a colon-space or a space-colon-space if following an open date
- Precede second and subsequent occurrences of subfield ǂa by a space-plus-space in most cases
- Precede subfield ǂb by a space-colon-space
- Precede subfield ǂc by a space-semicolon-space
- Precede subfield ǂe by a space-plus-space, i.e., a plus sign rather than an ampersand or the word and
- Enclose the extent, other physical details, and dimensions following a statement of accompanying material in subfield ǂe in parentheses
- Precede other physical details of accompanying material in subfield ǂe by a space-colon-space if it is not the first element within parentheses
- Precede dimensions of accompanying material in subfield ǂe by a space-semicolon-space if it is not the first element within parentheses
- Precede each additional statement of accompanying material in subfield ǂe by a space-plus-space
- Enclose any text within brackets and parentheses as required by cataloging instructions
- Include incidental punctuation needed within any subfields, e.g., commas, periods (following abbreviations or initials), etc.
- When field 490 is also present, optionally, add a terminal period at the end of the field unless the last subfield ends with an ellipsis or period (following an abbreviation or initial)
Note: The designations cm and mm are not treated as abbreviations and are not followed by periods.
