Computer files cover material encoded for manipulation by computer. >These materials fall within the scope of Chapter 9 of _AACR2_ and, where >applicable, the _Guidelines for Bibliographic Description of Interactive >Multimedia_ (ALA, 1994).

FOR DIRECT ACCESS FILES: Make a "System requirements" note according >toChapter 9 of _AACR2_. > >10. FOR REMOTE ACCESS FILES: Make a "Mode of access" note according to >Chapter 9 of _AACR2_. > >11. FOR INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA: Make a note according to instructions in the >_Guidelines for Bibliographic Description for Interactive Multimedia_.
