Guidelines for use
Enter the number of pages in a paginated resource, or the dimensions of bibliographic or graphic materials. Avoid using symbols to denote units of measurement (e.g. 1"). Example values include number of photographs or an image's dimensions, or duration for A/V material. The element may be used with electronic resources, e.g. for digitized collection of slides, to show how many slides constitute the resource. Consult RDA or DACS standards for best practices. Follow your unit/collection guidelines per Supervisor/Collection Owner.
