Okay, we do literary books here at the library and I have a question about the daunting list of other books by the author. I was taught that these were individually emphasized because they are titles of books. Then someone else said that it falls under the category of “same text element” and the opening passage indicator could be used at the beginning of each line and the closing indicator at the end of the emphasis.
Is there a “correct” way of doing a list of books in italics?
The question is on the borderline between Braille Formats and the UEB Rules. So, because “lists” are mentioned; we will say this is Braille Formats. Because several items in a list are completely italicized, your friend is correct about the application of UEB 9.9. Look at the following example. Note that the first title below contains text that is not part of the title.
[open] The First President,[Close] co-written by Dr. J.E. Abrams
[open] Executive Orders
[open] 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
[open] The Election of 1800 [Close]
Do you have an example to share? Is there a particular list of titles that is giving you trouble?
No particular book, because we do all literary books. And as I said before, I was just doing them separately, and then one of my volunteers brought it up, and said, why can’t they be done as the text element? So I was just looking into it a little bit more and trying to get a definitive answer.
Your answer works for me and I will pass this information on. Thanks.
