CONSER Guidelines for Input of Caption/Pattern and Holdings Data
Appendix A: Abbreviations for Captions
[PDF documents require the free Adobe
Acrobat Reader to view]
Harvard University Library originally compiled this list, adding abbreviations
to selections from Appendix B of AACR2 (1998 revision). Holdings
Statements for Bibliographic Items (ANSI/NISO Z39.71-1999) [157KB;
PDF] instructs us in section 5.5.4.2 to use abbreviations from Appendix
B or from
other standard lists, or to create them according to the rules of Information
and documentation -- Bibliographic description and references -- Rules
for the Abbreviation of Bibliographic Items (ISO 832: 1994). In
a series of words, no space is used after an abbreviation that ends
with a full stop (section 3.2.1).
Non-roman terms are given here in the vernacular and romanization,
but romanizations should be used in holdings records when needed (Z39.71-1999,
sec.5.5.4.2).
To suggest additional caption abbreviations for this list, send an
email message to CONSERHOLD-L@cornell.edu.
Please include the full form of the caption, your suggested abbreviation,
its language, and your email address. If you cannot input diacritics
in your message, please spell out the diacritics or at least indicate
that its diacritics are omitted. Suggested abbreviations will be verified
against standard lists and ISO 832 and added to this document. Thank
you.
