I'm not sure we're permitted to go outside Standard Citations here, but rule 7B14.2 in DCRM(B) doesn't mention the use of any commas. The examples, however -- which admittedly are not prescriptive -- use a comma after the title portion unless the title portion ends with a parenthesis. The examples maintain this trend for title portions that end with letters and numbers alike.<br>

<div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I know there are a lot of opinions, but is there a rule that states whether to use a comma after the title portion of the citation. I can’t find a specific rule except a mention of a “final comma” relating to the addition of page numbers in the printed version of Standard Citations (p. xxiii). So, based on what I can surmise from examples in Standard Citations, it occurs to me that the only time a cataloger would include a comma between the title portion and the location portion of the reference would be when the title portion ends in a number.<u></u><u></u></p>
