12.7B23. If more than one issue or
part has been consulted, make a note
of the latest issue or part consulted in
making the description. Combine
information about earliest and latest
issues or parts consulted in a single
note if both are appropriate.
27
LIC (cont.)

LCRI 12.7B23. Combine the DBO with
the source of title note but not with the

already in records; less revision
Use same abbreviations as for DBO
