The type field
This field identifies the type or inherent nature of an individual item (to identify material based on the physical format or medium in which a particular item was issued or exists, see the format field).
The type field is composed of sixteen categories:
Material may be classified in more than one category. For example, materials pertaining to a Lincoln Center concert of various musical settings of Ashbery's work will be classified by type as both music and performance.
When a citation has been created for a missing primary item based on documentation of that item from secondary material in the ARC archive, the type field will reflect both the primary and secondary material. For example, when the ARC has a review of a recording of a musical setting of Ashbery's work rather than the recording itself, the citation will be categorized by type both as miscellaneous prose and as music. When the ARC has secondary documentation in addition to the primary item, the type field will reflect only the primary material, and secondary materials will be listed in the notes field. For example, when the ARC has both a recording and a review of the recording, the citation will be categorized by type as music only.
