  • In general, follow the forms as given in Standard Citation Forms for Rare Materials Cataloging
  • If formulating a new citation form, follow the Working Principles of Standard Citation Forms (to be discussed: when to propose the new form to RBMS)
  • No general use is currently made of a URI. Do not use to link to the Hamnet record for the bibliography.
  • The field does not end with a mark of punctuation, unless the field ends with an abbreviation, initial/letter, or other data that ends with a mark of punctuation.
