Chenhall does not seem to take into account (or has not updated to) the 
newer technology and I am having a hard time figuring out how to list certain 
items.  Some of our photograph collection are 'Computer Scan only" types 
(persons loaned us their old photos for scanning, kept the originals & we have 
only the scans), or scans/pdf files were sent to us on either zip discs or CD-
Roms (both photos and scans of archival materials). I have stated under home 
location on our catalog page the items that are 'Computer Scan Only" and 
added to the Lexicon "Scan, Digital", but how do I name Zip disks, PDF files on 
either Zip Disks/CDs, and CD-roms?  
Due to time & staff constraints (me, me & me) very few of these files have 
been printed, so the digital file is all we have at the moment.  These items 
have been cataloged as well as possible, and are listed on our online catalog, 
but non-requests for the materials have made them low-man on the printing 
pole.  If they are ever printed (& I know it would be much better for 
retention), how would you update the cataloging (the electronic files are 
cataloged in their broad area:photos/archives/library)? 
So much great stuff, so little time!!
