      Notes on transcribing library locations:

      • The locations written on the t.p. verso are not in the same form as the abbreviations on the copy holdings screen.

      • In addition, if the location includes a sublocation, the LABL command will not display the location as it should be written on the t.p. verso. In these cases, it is also necessary to consult the list of library designations.

        Go to List of library designations on t.p. verso

   2. Transcribe any caption terms for multivolume works using appropriate term.
