Definitions
From AACR2, Appendix D -- Glossary
Activity card. A card printed with words, numerals, and/or
pictures to be used by an individual or a group as a basis for performing
a specific activity. Usually issued in sets.
Cartographic material. Any material representing the whole
or part of the earth or any celestial body at any scale. Cartographic
materials include two- and three- dimensional maps and plans (including
maps of imaginary places); aeronautical, nautical, and celestial
charts; atlases; globes; block diagrams; sections; aerial photographs
with a cartographic purpose; bird's-eye views (map views), etc.
Disk (Electronic resources). A magnetic disk, usually encased
in a protective plastic jacket or rigid case, used by computerized
devices for storing and retrieving electronic resources. Disks
can either be fixed or removable.
Electronic resource. Material (data and/or program(s)) encoded
for manipulation by a computerized device. This material may
require the use of a peripheral directly connected to a computerized
device (e.g., CD-ROM drive) or a connection to a computer network
(e.g., the Internet).
Optical disc (Electronic resources). Any of several specific
carriers delivering optically read data (e.g., CD-I, CD-ROM,
Photo CD).
Sound recording. A recording on which sound vibrations have
been registered by mechanical or electrical means so that the sounds
may be reproduced.
Text. 1. A term used as a general material designation to
designate printed material accessible to the naked eye (e.g., a
book, a phaphlet, a broadside). 2. The words of a song, song
cycle, or, in the plural, a collection of songs.
