Genius son Matt has already agreed (on import by automation) to reduce all capital 245s to all lower case, with the exception of the first letter after 245$a and 245 =$b. Cataloguers will have to upercase the first letter of proper nouns and and acronymns. I've not yet heard from him whether he can reduce to lower case the first letter of each word when sentence style capitalization is not used. How would he distinguise between that, and proper names in a title? If in spell check, lower case it? That would produce errors, e.g., "green" as colour and "Green" as surname. I suspect changing to sentence capitalization will have to be a manual change. RDA is probably going to force a price increase for us. *Please* cataloguing powers that be, let this cup pass from us! __ __ J.
