<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Yes, I think you’re right. In AACR2 Appendix A, rule A.4A1 says to capitalize other words (besides the first word of a title) “as instructed in the rules for the language involved.” In the rules for German, A.40
says to capitalize all nouns and words used as nouns. The word “inner” in the title doesn’t qualify as any of the types of adjectives that should be capitalized according to the rules in A.40B. A.40D1 c) says not to capitalize adverbs, and according to my
German dictionary “wie” is an adverb (although I wouldn’t have thought of it that way); so in short, you are doing as the rules say to do.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am cataloging a record that is already coded DCRM(b), so I want to make sure I am not destroying good transcription. It is OCLC #33669744 for a 16<sup>th</sup>-century German medical book. Please do not do any editing on the record today
since I’m still working on it. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you look at the bib record, you will notice that the cataloger capitalized words as they are capitalized on the title page. So “Jnner” and “Wie” are capitalized, though I don’t think that fits modern capitalization norms. Looking at
DCRM(b), I see rule 0G2 says to follow rules for capitalization in AACR2 Appendix A, so that made me think we are still using AACR2 rules for capitalization. AACR2 1.1B1 says “Transcribe the title exactly as to wording, order, and spelling, but not necessarily
as to punctuation and capitalization.” <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For German, I would think that would mean capitalizing nouns but not words like “Jnner” or “Wie” within a sentence. Am I right about that?<u></u><u></u></p>
