INPUT CONVENTIONS

Punctuation - Field 740 ends with a mark of punctuation or a closing parenthesis. A mark of punctuation is placed inside a closing quotation mark.
Spacing - No spaces are used in initialisms. One space is used between preceding and succeeding initials if an abbreviation consists of more than a single phrase (e.g., W. Va.).
Initial Articles - Initial articles (e.g., The) occurring at the beginning of specific program title fields are usually omitted in most languages (except when the intent is to file on the article). Any diacritics and/or special characters occurring at the beginning of the field are retained. Note that such characters are usually ignored for purposes of sorting and filing.
Display Constant - Arabic or roman numbers and the word Title: which precede added entry fields on some displays are not carried in the MARC record. These may be system generated as display constants associated with the field tag.
