the last word in the field is an abbreviation, initial/letter, or data that ends with a
period.
Spacing - When adjacent initials appear in a title separated or not separated by periods, no
spaces are recorded between the letters or periods. One space is used between preceding
and succeeding initials if an abbreviation consists of more than a single phrase (e.g.,
W. Va.).
