'''Large print'''/large type books are defined by [https://www.loc.gov/nls/resources/general-resources-on-disabilities/large-print-materials/ the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped of the Library of Congress] and [http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/form.html OCLC Bibliographic Standards and Formats].

* In OCLC, items labeled "large print" or "larger print," regardless of font size, should be coded as large print.
* In the CCS database, consider 13.5-point or larger font size to be large print. (Note this would not include materials like "large print" Bibles with a smaller font size.)
* HarperLuxe's "larger print" books typically use 14-point type and should be considered large print.<ref>https://www.harpercollins.com/corporate/press-releases/harpercollins-publishers-introduces-the-new-luxury-in-reading-harperluxe/</ref>
* Harlequin's "larger print" books typically use 13.5-point type and should be considered large print.<ref>https://www.harlequin.com/shop/pages/larger-print.html</ref><ref>CAMM, November 14, 2018</ref>

==Fixed field (008)==
'''Form of Item (23) =''' <code>d</code>

==Variable fields==
; Edition (250)
:Record a formal [[edition]] statement that appears on the item. If a formal edition statement is lacking, but "Large print" or "Larger print" appears on the item, record that as an edition statement. If all these are lacking, ''optionally'' supply a bracketed edition statement in the form <code>[Large print edition].</code><ref name="RDA2_5_1_4">RDA 2.5.1.4 option</ref>.

{{example|indent=1|text=
250 1st Thorndike Press large print edition.

250 Larger print.

250 [Large print edition].
}}

:If there are multiple edition statements, in the CCS database record both statements in the same 250 field. (In OCLC, record separate edition statements in separate 250 fields.)

{{example|indent=1|text=
250 Revised edition, Large print.
}}

:When both "1st HarperLuxe edition" and "Larger print" appear on an item, they are different ways of saying the same thing (HarperLuxe is Harper's "larger print" imprint, so ''everything'' HarperLuxe publishes is "larger print"). In the CCS database, record both in the same 250 field.

:'''Example:'''
{{example|indent=1|text=
250 1st HarperLuxe edition, Larger print.
}}

; Extent of item (300 {{subfield|a}})
:''Optionally'', qualify the pagination with <code>(large print)</code>.

{{example|indent=1|text=
300 243 pages (large print) ;{{subfield|c}}25 cm
}}

; Font size (340 {{subfield|n}})
:Specify "large print" in a 340 field. (Note that the first letter is lowercase, and there is no final period.<ref name="RDA3_13_1_3">RDA 3.13.1.3</ref><ref name="MARC_340">[http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd340.html MARC 21: 340]</ref>)

{{example|indent=1|text=340 {{subfield|n}}large print{{subfield|2}}rda}}

; Genre (655)
:Use the local genre heading <code>Large type books</code>.

{{example|indent=1|text=655 0 Large type books.}}

When a serial or other continuing resource ceases publication or when you create a new record due to a change, '''close off the old record'''. The extent to which each element is completed depends on the issues that are in hand and the information that is available (see the chart in the ''CONSER Cataloging Manual'', Module 16, page 20 as well as Module 21.3).

# Change the '''Publication Status''' in the fixed field from c to d.
# Add the date publication ceased in '''Date 2''' in the fixed field, and '''264 &Dagger;c'''.
# If known, specify the total number of volumes in '''300 &Dagger;a'''.
# Add the last issue information to the '''362''' field.
# Optionally, add the ending date to any date ranges in other fields (general notes, 246 &Dagger;f, etc.)
# If the title has changed, add a '''785''' field with the succeeding title in subfield t; do not transcribe initial articles.
