STEP 4.1 : DEPARTMENT ABBREVIATIONS
dept. => department
One of the most talked about changes in abbreviations has been the change from abbreviating the term department. The abbreviation dept. has been widely used in Corporate Names (X10) and Meeting Names (X11).
The Library of Congress has not yet made an official statement dictating whether they will begin expanding this abbreviation.
MARS 2.0 can expand dept. to department in all of the X10/X11 fields, or only in the fields which you specify:
original fields:
110 1_ $a New York (State). $b Dept. of Motor Vehicles.
610 10 $a United States. $b Army. $b Dept. of the Columbia.
updated fields:
110 1_ $a New York (State). $b Department of Motor Vehicles.
610 10 $a United States. $b Army. $b Department of the Columbia.
