Punctuations are included in RDA Toolkit Appendix D.1.2 and LC-PCC PS for 1.7.1<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdachp1&target=rda1-787#rda1-787> GENERAL GUIDELINES ON TRANSCRIPTION
In the LC-PCC PS general guidelines, you can see "Punctuation at the End of MARC Fields 245, 246-247, 250, 264, 300, 310/321, 362, 490". Are there other references about punctuations in RDA Toolkit? Thanks, Joan Wang Illinois Heartland Library System.
