Contents Notes:
Simple Contents - Terminology:
To increase consistency in simple contents notes certain types of map contents are described by means of preferred or standard terms. These terms are used to described items not quoted by title, and, in some instanced, in conjunction with quoted titles.
These items vary in importance. Certain items are considered so unimportant that their presence in a recto or verso contents note is usually not mentioned. These same items are almost never mentioned if they occur on a cover that would otherwise be discarded.
Optional items are mentioned in simple contents notes according to the cataloger’s judgment of the relative importance of the elements, whether or not the elements might reasonably be expected to appear on the type of item being described, and, the length or complexity of the resultant contents note if the element(s) is included.
