Trainers' notes. "Transcribe an edition statement as it appears on the source of information. Apply the general guidelines on transcription given under 1.7. Following various LCPS in 1.7 and 1.8 leads you to always transcribe the data as found. Appendix B4 says, “For transcribed elements, use only those abbreviations found in the sources of information for the element.”
"[Transcribing these elements as found means not abbreviating terms and not converting numerals from one form to another as AACR2 requires.]"
