## Latest issue consulted note

- 12.7B23.  If more than one issue or part has been consulted, make a note of the latest issue or part consulted in making the description.  Combine information about earliest and latest issues or parts consulted in a single note if both are appropriate.

## LIC (cont.)

- LCRI 12.7B23.  Combine the DBO with the source of title note but not with the LIC; always give the LIC as a separate note
