UC San Diego Guidelines for Recording Serial Holdings in Alma Holdings Records, Appendix 1: Captions and Chronology Data
(See also: UC San Diego Guidelines for Recording Serial Holdings in Alma Holdings Records and Appendix 2: Examples)
UC San Diego applies the option to record captions. If parts of a unit do not have captions, do not supply captions.
Transcribe captions, in the language they appear on the publication, in the singular (i.e. if the caption is Bd., use Bd. as the caption rather than v.)
EXCEPTION: Translate captions that appear in non-Latin scripts. The standard English captions of ser., v., no., etc. may be used.
UC San Diego will apply RDA and ISO abbreviations for captions. If the caption abbreviation is not listed in Appendix A: Abbreviations for captions (PCC) or the lists below, it must be transcribed in full, unabbreviated form.
Use lowercase for captions unless the language of the caption (e.g., German nouns) requires an uppercase first letter. See RDA Appendices A33-A55 for language capitalization rules.
If a symbol (e.g. #) is used as a caption and it has a recognized textual equivalent, record the textual equivalent [ANSI/NISO 5.5.4.2]; use the RDA abbreviation if listed.
