Remember:

This data provides additional information about the types of content in a resource, e.g., if a book contains text and 3D popup forms, it could be useful for identification and selection to indicate this in a note, e.g., “Contains 3D pop-up forms” in addition to adding Content Type: Text and Content Type: Three-dimensional form

• Check the 'Source' instruction to be sure that you are looking at the correct source(s) of information on the resource
• If data on the resource and data as the element in the record are:
  • PoR/PaE–check the Data Entry instructions:
    • data for this element must be Recorded as a note: the intent of the data must be appropriate for the resource
  • PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
    • data for this element is NotCore: if the data has not been given as another element instead:
      
      • it is ok if the element is missing, since the other cataloger might simply have decided not to add it; but
        
      • it is not ok if you feel that the fact that the element is missing indicates a true difference
  • AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
    • since the Source for this element is or includes 'Any': accept the data, but only if it seems applicable
  • AoR/AaE–go to the next element:
    • but be sure to check the resource carefully, if the data for the element is Core, or if the data is important for differentiating the resource from a similar resource
