For a language whose final cataloging record is not in romanized form, use
"i.e." and "et al." if there are no equivalent abbreviations in the nonroman script.

LC/PCC implementation.
Bibliographic records. Substitute one form of abbreviation with the
prescribed abbreviation in the edition area and in the series statement/series access
point in all bibliographic records created after August 31, 2001. 1
31, 2001
PCC practice: Series authority records (SARs) used or created after August
SAR already in the national authority file. If the abbreviation in
the "series numbering example" information (642 field) is not the prescribed
abbreviation, change the 642 field to the prescribed abbreviation. For example, change
"vol. 2" to "v. 2" or change "numb. 1" to "no. 1." Notify LC's Cooperative Cataloging
Team.
SAR being added to the national authority file. Substitute one form
of abbreviation with the prescribed abbreviation when giving the 642 field information.
Rational for implementation decisions. It is recognized that the decision
to change the 642 field in existing SARs will create split files in some local catalogs
using bibliographic 4XX/8XX subfield $v information for indexing, sorting, and display
for some types of searches. However, the benefit of consistent actions for catalogers,
the fact that no additional bibliographic records will be created that would need to be
updated in the future, and the potential ability to set off the numeral from the
abbreviation in the subfield $v information in bibliographic records justify the decision
to change existing SARs.
CONSER standard record and minimal record practice: It is not required to
use abbreviations when giving numbering in a note.
