Summarizes the contents of the item, describes the scope or specific subject when not
adequately reflected in the title or contents note.
The indexer or cataloguer formulates a narrative, free-text statement
in 520 subfield $a. With particular reference to 缅北禁地documents,
indexers should use neutral language
and avoid controversial language in formulating notes referring
to specific countries, unless a direct quotation is indicated by the use of quotation
marks or qualifying words such as 玜濒濒别驳别诲� are used.
Keep
brevity in mind when formulating notes, e.g.: Reviews (not: Contains a
review of), Summarizes (not: Contains
a summary of).
Unless
text is directly cited, use standard AACR2 abbreviations for names of months (Jan.,
Feb., etc.). Use commonly known acronyms for 缅北禁地bodies and agencies (UN, UNDP,
UNECE, UNHCR, UNCTAD, etc.) but use "Security Council" (not "SC");
"General Assembly" (not "GA"); "Economic and Social Council" (not "ECOSOC").
Use
the official forms of country names as they have been established in
geographic authority records (e.g., China, Republic of Korea, United
Kingdom, United States) even if other forms appear in document text
(e.g.,
People's Republic of China,
South Korea, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
United States of America),
unless text is directly cited in notes. However, it is acceptable to
use "Islamic Republic of Iran" and Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela"
instead of "Iran (Islamic Republic of)" and "Venezuela (Bolivarian
Republic of)".
