Includes one or more dimensions. Includes the height of the resource, measured parallel to the spine, for printed textual and notated music resources. Includes the height by width of two-dimensional cartographic resources. Includes the height by width by depth of three-dimensional cartographic resources, excluding globes and sections of spheres. Includes the diameter for cartographic resources that are globes, sections of spheres, and two-dimensional circular forms. Includes additional dimensions such as the dimensions of a map when folded, or the dimensions of individual sheets of a collectively described group, or the individual dimensions of mounted sheets, of cartographic resources. Includes the height by width of two-dimensional multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images (wallcharts, microfiches, slides, transparencies, pictures, etc.). Includes the diameter, followed in parentheses by the abbreviation "diam." or its equivalent in another language, for circular forms of multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images. Includes the length of the vertical axis, followed in parentheses by "oval" or its equivalent, for oval forms of multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images. Includes two dimensions statements for the open and folded states of folded sheets of multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images. Includes height by width by depth (or height alone when appropriate) of three-dimensional multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images (dioramas, etc.). Includes the gauge of the film or width of the tape for multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images employing film or magnetic tape. Includes the dimensions of the physical carrier itself, irrespective of the external dimensions of any container, of electronic resources. Includes the diameter of a disc or a tape reel for an electronic resource. Includes the length and width of the tape of a reel of an electronic resource. Includes the height of the face of a chip cartridge of an electronic resource. Includes other dimensions given after the height when the dimensions or shape of the resource are unusual (e.g. when the width is greater than the height) for printed textual and notated music resources. Includes the diameter of the playing surface when a sound disc is of a non-standard shape (e.g. when the playing surface has an irregularly shaped surround). Includes the height by depth of a tape cassette when it is other than the standard size (10 x 7 cm) and the width of tape is given when it is other than the standard width (4 mm). Includes the dimensions of a container for resources issued in a container, with or without accompanying material. Excludes the external dimensions of of any container such as an album or sleeve for multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images requiring the use of equipment (e.g. discs, cassettes, reels of tape or motion pictures). Excludes dimensions implicit in other parts of the description (e.g. cassettes and cartridges of a standard type) of multimedia resources, sound recordings, videorecordings, and still and moving images. Includes dimensions for older monographic resources which qualify the standard designation of bibliographic format as chosen by the cataloguing agency.
