(*) 6. General and Specific Material Designators (GMD & SMD) "Correct practice is to enter the appropriate GMD in 245 $h and the appropriate SMD in 300 $a, with the trade name or product type in 538 $a. For example, a DVD would have: GMD = ’videorecording’ SMD = ’videodisc’ 538 ##$aDVD This complies with the PCC BIBCO Core Record Standards and is common practice in MARC 21 cataloguing."
