STEP 4.6 : OTHER ABBREVIATIONS

bible testaments

O.T. and N.T. should no longer be used, but the terms should be expanded as Old Testament or New Testament. With AACR2, a Biblical book title within an X30 field had an additional subfield containing either Old Testament or New Testament.

With RDA, the Testament subfield is removed when a Biblical book is in the next subfield. Koran is also now replaced with Qur'an:

 
 original fields:
    130 _0 $a Bible. $p O.T.
    630 _0 $a Bible. $p N.T. $p Acts.
    730 _0 $a Koran.
