7.12 Form headings

A form heading reflects what the bibliographic item is rather than what it is about.

7.121 Bibliographic form:

Bibliographic form headings are intended for items not restricted to any particular subject or for items dealing with a large number of subjects, such as general reference works. Examples

7.122 Artistic and literary form:

Artistic or literary form headings represent the literary genres or artistic media of the items rather than their subject content, particularly in the fields of literature, art, and music. Examples
