<p>Dear Jasmin,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The closest that I have found in the RDA Toolkit is LC-PCC PS 1.7 "Fields 245, 250. If either field
<a class="ulink" href="https://desktop.loc.gov/saved/Mabibl_245">245<img alt="" class="externallink" height="13" width="13" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" src="http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/externallink.png"></a> or
<a class="ulink" href="https://desktop.loc.gov/saved/Mabibl_250">250<img alt="" class="externallink" height="13" width="13" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" src="http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/externallink.png"></a> does not end in a period, add one."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>And then we <u>have RDA 1.7.3 "Transcribe punctuation as it appears on the source."</u></p>
<p><u><br>
</u></p>
<p><u>If you add these together you would get just 1 period</u></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I would say that the instructions are not exactly clear. And of course examples would be helpful.</span><br>

<span style="">I have in front of me a case of a 245 and a 505 that end with rashe tevot (z. ts. ṿe-ḳ.l.l.h.h. in the 245 and li-f.ḳ. in the 505). Please confirm that I’m supposed to end the field with a second mark of punctuation (full stop) following
that of the abbreviation.</span></p>

<span style="">I looked at the RDA ISBD punctuation sections for guidance (Appendix D and 1.7 and its accompanying LCC-PCC PS) but didn’t find examples for 24x or 5xx fields. I recall the example during training where the 250 ed. statement ends with an abbreviation,
a second full stop would be added as part of ISBD punctuation, e.g., if the statement is given as “3<sup>rd</sup> ed.”, the 250 would present as “3<sup>rd</sup> ed..” (See Adam Schiff’s ‘<a href="http://www.rda-jsc.org/archivedsite/docs/BCLAPresentationWithNotes.pdf" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">Changes

<span style="">One option is to omit the abbreviations, but that isn’t really in the spirit of RDA’s “take what you see”. Have others encountered similar situations? E.g., a title ending with E.Y. (</span><span lang="HE" dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">א"י</span><span dir="LTR"></span><span style=""><span dir="LTR"></span>)?</span></p>
