Answer: Let's think about this one.

15.  To paginate or not to paginate (multi-volume sets)
The LCPS for both 3.4.5.17 (continuously paged volumes) and 3.4.5.18 (individually paged volumes) tells us generally include pagination in parens after the number of volumes (except serials and integrating resources). Resulting examples: 2 volumes (xxxxi, 999 pages); 2 volumes (xvi, 329; xx, 412 pages). What is our policy?

Answer: Follow LCPS and include pagination for multi-part monographs unless truly burdensome.

16.  To diacriticize or not to diacriticize (transcribed words that are lacking proper diacritics)
When transcribing words that are lacking the correct diacritics, AACR2 1.0G1 told us to supply them according to correct usage. RDA 1.7.4 makes this optional, and there is no LCPS. What should we do?

Answer: Continue the AACR2 practice in accordance with the option in RDA 1.7.4. Supply the correct diacritics as needed, even if found without diacritics on the source of information.
