- Abstract
- In an attempt to determine whether further research and discussion is justified in the area of the description of reproductions of previously existing works, this project estimated what proportion of a research library's collection existed in multiple physical manifestation throughout the bibliographical universe. Between a fifth and a third (21-32 %) of the sampled collection was found to be in multiple manifestation. There was less diversity of media in multiple manifestations than expected: 13% of the manifestations identified were microforms, 3.4% were in other media. Seventy-five percent of those works found in multiple manifestation had only one other manifestation identified; the largest number of multiple manifestations identified for one work was 83.
