==Classification considerations==
Particularly for larger print material, each library may decide for itself whether the print size of a given book is big enough to warrant shelving it with their other large print books or with their other regular print books,<ref name="scrapmin200712" />, but local shelving decisions do not alter the requirement for accuracy in the bibliographic description.

Large print books are defined by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped of the Library of Congress and OCLC Bibliographic Standards and Formats

  • Printed in a 14 point or larger font
  • Item labeled "large print" or "larger print" (HarperLuxe's "larger print" books typically use 14-point type.)

Fixed field

Form: d

Variable fields

Edition (250)
Use the formal edition statement that appears on the item. If one is lacking, but "Larger print" appears on the item, use that as an edition statement. If both are lacking, and the cataloger needs to differentiate between otherwise nearly-identical records, supply a bracketed edition statement of [Large print edition].[1].
250 1st Thorndike large print edition.

250 [Large print edition].

250 Larger print.
If there is are multiple edition statements, enter both statements in the 250 field in the order original edition, revision edition[1][2]. 250 is repeatable in OCLC, but the local practice is to combine into one.
Examples:
Large print version of the revised edition of the standard print version of a book (this will likely be the most common form used for large & larger print books):
250    Revised edition, Large print.
Large print version of the revised edition of the standard print version of a book (But "Large print" does not appear anywhere on the item):
250    Revised edition, [Large print].
Revised edition of the Large print edition of a book:
250    Large print, Revised edition.
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"). For local practice, combine them into a single edition statement as above, with "1st HarperLuxe edition." as the primary edition statement. (When creating original records in WorldCat, transcribe "1st HarperLuxe ed." in the 250 field and give "Larger print" in a quoted note.)
Example:
250    1st HarperLuxe edition, Larger print.
Extent of item (300 ‡a)
In RDA records, it is optional to qualify the pagination with (large print).
300    243 pages (large print) ;‡c25 cm
Font size (340 ‡n)
Specify "large print" in a 340 field. (Note that the first letter is lowercase, and there is no final period.[3][4])
340    ‡nlarge print‡2rda
Genre (655)
Always use the genre heading Large type books.
655  0 Large type books.
