Since 1967, Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules has served the profession with highly developed content standards for cataloging the resources that come into your library--from clay tablets to books to CD-ROMs. It has been the one-stop gold standard. In the digital world of 2002, with the process of cataloging more complex than ever, the joint Steering Committee has come together to present an up-to-the-minute, forward-looking revision that will equip you to catalog and type of resource, print or electronic. Now in a completely redesigned loose-leaf format, AACR2 is more user-friendly than ever. With 8.5" x 11" pages (that fit a standard 3-ring binder), separately numbered chapters (for easy integration of future updates), and brand new text design (that clearly distinguishes the rules from the examples), the 2002 Revision is the powerhouse for resource description and access. This revision literally walks you through the process--with clearly defined rules and practical examples--of organizing catalog records using standards that apply to all metadata formats.
