[DCRM-L] Full vs abbreviated language in notes

[Deborah J. Leslie]

My point is that "Caption title." shouldn't be used for monographs when
the 245 is taken from there. To the non-cataloger, it's cryptic to the
point of nonsense. That phrase is fine to use when it's followed by a
colon and the content of the caption title.

There is a difference with these two notes:

"Caption title" is used for monographs when the title is from the
caption.  It is still used for serials with the note: "Caption title: ",
when the caption title is different from the 245.  "Title from caption"
is used for serials when the actual 245 is from the caption.  When it is
not, you would use the same note as for monographs "Caption title: "  I
think this comes about because with serials there are many different
titles, and usually not a real title page.  RDA for serials (or
continuing resources) still uses the notes: ; title from caption.  ;
title from title page. ; title from masthead. , etc. after the 588
field: "Description based on: " followed after the semi-colon by "title
from  "
