Record captions or equivalent symbols when they appear on the publication
If a serial lacks captions or equivalent symbols, do not supply any. Record the holdings
If a non-serial lacks captions or equivalent symbols, supply captions as follows:
English - use the sequence v., pt., no.
Non-English - use the language's equivalent of the English captions given above
Record captions in the vernacular form appearing on the publication (romanized, if necessary). Abbreviate captions according to Appendix B of AACR2. When AACR2 allows an option, use the shortest form (e.g. "v." not "vol.").
Abbreviated captions: Do not follow abbreviated captions with a space.
volume 5 becomes v.5
tome 7 becomes t.7
Unabbreviated captions: Follow unabbreviated captions with a space.
nmbr 3 remains nmbr 3
disc 1 remains disc 1
For symbols, record the recognized textual equivalent or its abbreviation as the caption.
§1 becomes sect.1
#12 becomes no.12
For unnumbered series, record the series caption (e.g., "ns" or "n.F.") as the caption for the most inclusive level of enumeration data.
n.s.v.1
For numbered series, record the series numbering scheme and series caption as the most inclusive level of enumeration data.
ser.1:v.1:no.1
Repeat captions in a range for serial holdings only.
