This field contains the physical description of the item and information concerning accompanying material.
Accept copy as found unless there is an obvious error that would make copy a questionable match. Checking the last page number to verify a match is required, but verification of preliminary paging is optional. It is not necessary to verify 300|b, but correct if obviously wrong. When copy provides more information than is required, accept copy as found.
Loose Plates: When there are separate illustrations partially glued to a page of the item, insert a Preservation Flyer with Paste plates written in the Special Instructions area.
Complete the 300 field in CIP records. Use Bibliographic Processing Cataloging Rules for 300 as a guide.
When copy has a plus sign " + " preceding |e, retain it. Add if missing from copy. See BPCR 300, Accompanying Material.
Add term "large print" to 300|a after the pagination for items having large print for the vision-impaired.

Oversize/Folio Item Info: All Oversize/Folio items in Pattee/Paterno, with the exception of Pattee M, N, and TR, should be assigned specific oversize/folio Home Locations. See the Home Location/Marking Description List page for a complete list. The Library should be UP-PAT. The Item type should be BOOK. Material does circulate.
Items requiring binding must be considered Oversized if they measure 1 cm. less than the standard Oversize or Folio measurements as the binding will add to their size (i.e., 32-42cm H, 36-40cm. W for Quarto and 42cm. and up H, 40 cm. and up W for Folio).
An item is oversized when it measures 31 cm. or more in height or width. When measuring an item, always round up (e.g., 30.1 cm. rounds up to 31 cm.). See below for exceptions.
Q (Quarto): 31-41 cm.
F (Folio): 42 cm. and over
Items requiring binding should have Q or F added to the call numbers if they are 30-41 cm. (Q) or 41 cm. and over (F).
Exception:
- Do NOT add Q or F to Cat as sep, class together call numbers.
For all Pattee Map Collection locations, assign F to any item 36 cm. and over in width. Rules for height are the same for all locations.
Oversized measurements are 29-41 cm. due to compact shelving size, or 28-41 cm. for paperback items requiring binding.
DO NOT USE the oversize symbols for CCL locations with the exception of Fayette N... class call numbers.
