* duplicate form letters to many recipients: if you come across a stack of form letters (same content) addressed to many people, catalog those as one record with title "Letter from XXX to multiple recipients". Based on interest of content and amount of names, make a decision on whether to include recipients' names in the abstract. Add genre term "form letters". | * duplicate form letters to many recipients: if you come across a stack of form letters (same content) addressed to many people, catalog those as one record with title "Letter from XXX to multiple recipients".

+ | * items with a date range: create two <dateCreated> entries, one for each part of the date range. Add **point="start"** to the first entry and **point="end"** in the second entry. **keyDate="yes"** should only be on the earliest entry for correct sorting. <mods:dateCreated keyDate="yes" encoding="w3cdtf" point="start">1967-07</mods:dateCreated><mods:dateCreated encoding="w3cdtf" point="end">1967-08</mods:dateCreated> | ||
* names/words with accents should be encoded with the accent characters. Use the Oxygen character map (under the Edit menu) to look up the code that properly inserts the accented character. **Use the "decimal" (not hexidecimal) code**. To make sure it is searchable in Credo, I recommend using the plain text version in the abstract. Example: **Pelé** in title and name elements and **Pele** in abstract. | * names/words with accents should be encoded with the accent characters.
