Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules

On its first publication in 1967, Anglo-American Cata- loguing Rules was greeted as "the best Code we have, or are likely to have,” and was soon adopted by libraries around the world.

The second edition of AACR consolidates the achievements of the first and builds on them to meet the challenges of development and change. In an intensive three-year project, two distinguished editors and an international Joint Steering Committee—on which the national library associations and national library services of the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom were all represented—have produced a revision that harmonizes the two differing texts of the first edition. AACR 2 incorporates the latest international standards, makes provision for the whole range of new materials and media now in our library collections, and takes notice of the impact of machine- readable cataloguing and bibliographic systems. There are adjustments to the text and presentation that nation-wide reviews by AACR users have shown to be essential.

One innovation is of particular importance: the rules for Description are presented in an integrated structure that provides a uniform basis for recording not only every known category of print and nonprint material, but those still unknown and uninvented.

AACR 2can be the Code to take cataloguing into the twenty-first century.
