1.7A3. Form of notes
When a note begins with a formal introductory term such as "contents," "credits," or "summary," do not use all caps in any case; instead, use upper and lower case as illustrated in AACR2.
In the spelling of words in notes formulated by the cataloger, follow American usage given in the latest edition of Webster’s New International Dictionary.
When following a quotation by an indication of its source within the item, use English terms for the source. Employ any of the abbreviations for the term permitted in Appendix B.9, including those that consist of or begin with a single letter. (For "volume," use "Vol.") Capitalize the first letter of the term or its abbreviation.
When nonroman data (including quotations) are being recorded in the note area, give them in romanized form in all cases, including those records represented by both a nonromanized card and a romanized machine-readable record.
