General rule
Neither AACR 2 nor the University of Chicago Press style manual provides detailed
guidance on capitalization of "little words" in English corporate names. Rule 7.123 in the style
manual, however, although stated as a rule for titles, is also applied by the press to corporate
names. The following list, derived from 7.123, is provided in order to maintain consistency for
certain common words. In other cases, use judgment.
Type of word
1) Pronouns capitalize
2) Forms of the verb capitalize
"to be"
3) "To" in infinitives lowercase
4) Coordinating conjunctions lowercase
("and," "but,"
"or," etc.)
5) Subordinating conjunctions capitalize
("though," "as," "if,"
"since," etc.)
6) Articles lowercase
7) Prepositions lowercase
On revising a heading that does not conform to this instruction, update the name
authority record and any MARC bibliographic records.
