acquiring non-book items in libraries

A little light reading for work brought me here. "Title" and "Item" are such overloaded terms.

Must be nice, being Australia, believing in (dismissive air quotes) "art" and "diplomacy" :roll:

But yeah, I'm not really sure what good examples of a "Title" are if you're only using MARC21 format. Or if that's even a good name for what I'm talking about. I have a headache. :P But guerrilla literature is such a great term. (And localization apparently would mean our Australian customers spell it guerilla, like barbarians!)

Many^100 moons ago, when I was a small child, I remember my mom borrowing a VCR from the library along with a cassette to watch a movie at home :P
