In the

...

catalog (bibliographic) record:

Transcribe v., vol., or

...

volume as it appears in the source being cataloged. (RDA 2.12.9.3)

In

...

holdings

...

and item records:

In the MFHD summary note:
Use “Vol.” at the beginning of the holdings statement, and “v.” everywhere else.

...

Use the abbreviation “vol.” regardless of where it appears.

Holdings example:     
866  _0 
‡a
|a Vol. 8-
v
vol. 25

In the Voyager item record (Enum./Chron. fields):

Use "vol." when it appears at the beginning and "v." when it does not.


Example:
Enum:
Item examples:
Enumeration A: vol. 8
Enum
Enumeration A: New ser.,
v
vol. 17
Enum
Enumeration A: 2017,
v. 2
vol. 2

NOTE: This is a change from prior practice (following AACR2), which was to use “Vol.” only at the beginning of a statement, and “v.” everywhere else. That format continues to be valid for use in serial bibliographic records that were created following AACR2 rules.
