This is in the MARC format itself.  https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdx00.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdx00.html__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!h_17ICrpJrrLTCjxJxf4AmAURmYRs9oVz5L1ssQVO9sC2i7lKQQccV8kM4KbB9-Xal4xDyfNSMGIJmA$>:


Punctuation - Punctuation of the subelements of a heading is generally dictated by descriptive cataloging or subject heading system/thesaurus rules. These input conventions clarify MARC punctuation practices. Fields 100, 600, 700, and 800 end with a mark of punctuation or a closing parenthesis. If the final subfields are subfield $0, $2, $3, $4, or $5, the mark of punctuation or closing parenthesis precedes those subfields.

Name portion of a name/title heading ends with a mark of punctuation. The mark of punctuation is placed inside a closing quotation mark. A name or title portion followed by a subject subdivision does not end with a mark of punctuation unless the name or title portion ends with an abbreviation, initial/letter, or open date.
And mark of punctuation is defined at https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdintro.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdintro.html__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!h_17ICrpJrrLTCjxJxf4AmAURmYRs9oVz5L1ssQVO9sC2i7lKQQccV8kM4KbB9-Xal4xDyfNj8aOCMA$>:

The input conventions area provides general guidance for the application of the content designators, and for such things as punctuation, spacing, and the use of display constants. The punctuation used within a field is generally dictated by descriptive cataloging or subject heading system/thesaurus rules. The input conventions clarify MARC punctuation practices especially with respect to final punctuation. In the discussion of punctuation practices, mark of punctuation is a period (.), a question mark (?), an exclamation mark (!), or a hyphen (-).

So if the name portion ends in a hyphen, no period is added because there is already a mark of punctuation.

Hi all,



I’m trying to find the rule that I have known for decades but can’t find written anywhere, that when you have a name-title access point you put a period after the name portion unless it ends in a hyphen.



e.g.,



Beethoven, Ludwig van, ǂd 1770-1827. ǂt Symphonies, ǂn no. 1, op. 21, ǂr C major



but



Adams, John, ǂd 1947- ǂt Short ride in a fast machine



Is this documented somewhere in the LC-PCC PSs?



Thanks,



Michelle
