Many times the cataloging record for non-book items is much longer than the record for books. This is due to the fact that there are more pieces of information needed in a non-book record. The physical description is often longer, and there are usually more notes that are useful or required in a non-book record. The record for the computer program above has notes related to the system requirements, the contents, and the accompanying materials, all of which take up several lines of space.
