BACKGROUND
Harvard University Library originally compiled this list, adding abbreviations
to selections from Appendix B of AACR2 (1998 revision). Holdings Statements
for Bibliographic Items (ANSI/NISO Z39.71-1999) says to use captions
from Appendix B or from other standard lists, or to create them according to
the rules of Rules for the Abbreviation of Bibliographic Items (ISO 832:
1994).
