<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">My thanks to Andrea Cawelti and (as ever) to Deborah Leslie. Both approaches are more elegant than my "throw it all into a bag" approach generally has been. I'm of two minds regarding e.g. "DNB"
v. "Deutsche Nationalbibliothek", but both have their virtues; and I do like to append $u at the end, especially when a resource comes with a permalink, as VIAF does.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Interesting that Folger records information in the original language ("Verleger, Publizist"), which I suppose is fine for domestic consumption if a 374 field is included in the record--better
in that case, really, since it provides a check on the cataloger's linguistic judgement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
