Module 13. Summary
Notes should be useful and informative.
Most notes are optional.
Wording is not prescriptive for
most notes.
When possible, use the form: [introductory
words]: [information], [dates]
Avoid using cataloger's jargon.
Use designations
in notes when there is evidence that the information contained in the
note does not apply to the entire span of the serial.
Input notes in numeric tag order
(except 533); input the "Description based on" note as the last
500 note. Combine the "Description based on" note and the Source
of title note when both are given.
Do not give other
title information appearing on the chief source as a quoted note!
