Hi Matthew, That looks good to me. The only thing I might suggest -- depending on your needs -- is to add <xsl:text> around your literals; e.g. <xsl:value-of select="dcvalue[@qualifier='name']"/><xsl:text> Vol. </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="dcvalue[@qualifier='volume']"/><xsl:text> Issue </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="dcvalue[@qualifier='issue']"/> If the processor you are using does something weird with white space, you'll avoid it by having the white space in text element. You may need a more precise XPath, depending on the context of your template, but the initial statement didn't look to bad. Hope that helps.
