[MinervaCats] material types & graphic novels

[Ellen Conway]

Dear catalogers,

The subject of material types in the bibliographic record was discussed at
the most recent meeting of the Minerva Cataloging Standards Committee on
Aug. 24.  Among other issues, it was noted that the type "d" is labeled "MS
music", and currently none of the Minerva libraries uses this designation.
The Committee is also studying the genre of Graphic Novels and in the
discussion it was suggested that this genre should be given its own material
type.

The Committee would like to hear comments from Minerva catalogers about
changing material type "d" from MS music to Graphic Novel.  Do you think
this change would be beneficial, or do you have an objection?  Please post
your replies to the MinervaCats list.

Thanks,
Ellen
