I am having trouble finding an instruction that addresses this. Most folks have followed the old LCRI and the newer LC-PCC PS to give the final punctuation within the quotation. <http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=lcpschp1&target=lcps1-502#lcps1-502> Scroll down to the second example under #2. That said, my former boss, Edward Swanson, always used the ISBD method you describe of adding the full stop after the quotation. At least one client library asked what was going on with that, so we reverted to the more popular application. -- Mark K. Ehlert Minitex <http://www.minitex.umn.edu/>
