For a title that begins with an Internet address (or part of an Internet address), do not capitalize the first element if it is not capitalized on the resource.

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hello all! </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I just have a quick question. A co-worker and I are having a discussion about capitalization in titles in MARC records. Our previous Director, who has a Masters in Library Science, told me when I was the cataloger that
only the first letter of the first word in the title was capitalized and everything else was lower case, regardless if it was a proper noun or not. This is how I taught the person who took over my job. However, while looking at other libraries catalogs, there
are quite a few that capitalize proper nouns in the title. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">What is the correct grammar to use in this situation? Thank you for any input!</p>
