300 Subfield $c - Dimensions:
Subfield $c contains the dimensions of an item, usually in centimeters, millimeters, or inches. The dimensions may be followed by a parenthetical qualifier giving the format of the item (e.g., (fol.), (8 vo)). The format qualifier is recorded as part of subfield $c and is not separately subfield coded.
In records formulated according to ISBD principles, subfield $c contains all data following a semicolon ( ; ) and up to and including the next mark of ISBD punctuation, if any [e.g., a plus sign ( + )].
