Context of change to AACR2
AACR is a work-in-progress Shift from incremental changes to more
fundamental changes Annual cycle of amendments starting in 2001
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 20044
Recent amendment packages
2002 – huge: new chapters, fundamental issues addressed
2003 – small: incremental changes, specific issues, new index
2001 – in-between: one new chapter, other incremental changes
2004 – probably also fairly small
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 20045
A beginning : the 1997 Toronto Conference
Why was it held? New types of materials Concern about forms of issuance New technology for OPACs International issues
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 20046
Toronto Conference topics
History of AACR Modelling the logic of
AACR Catalogue production
technology Beyond MARC
What is a work? Bibliographic
relationships Content vs Carrier Seriality Access points for works

IFLA Cataloguing Section
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) published 1998
ISBD(ER) published 1997, rev.ed. of ISBD(CF) ISBD(S) => ISBD(CR), published 2002 Functional Requirements and Numbering of

JSC items for immediate action from Toronto Conference
Principles of AACR2 Data modelling Seriality Rule 0.24 and Content vs Carrier JSC procedural tasks:
– AACR website– JSC mission statement
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 20049
Principles of AACR2
JSC working document prepared by Barbara Tillett in 2001 and posted on JSC web
Statement of underlying principles to be included in an expanded introduction
Influenced the IFLA 2003 draft “Statement of International Cataloguing Principles”
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200410
Data Modelling
The Logical Structure of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (1998-1999) by Tom Delsey
Examined both Part I (Description) and Part II (Access)
Identified major issues
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200411
Results so far
2001: term of address at end of the name (rules 22.15B1, 22.19B1)
2002: 1.4D4 deleted (no longer use “the Institute” “the Museum” in 260$b even if the name of the publisher appears in 245$c)
2003: 21.30J1 revised to always make a title added entry from title proper
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200412
Logical Model issues still pending
How should Part I be organized? Inconsistencies in choice of main entry for
different types of works Rule of 3 in chapter 21 and more
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200413
Seriality
Major accomplishment Definition of Integrating resources and
Continuing resources in 2002 amendments Complete revision of chapter 12, changes in
chapters 21 and 1 Harmonization with ISBD(CR) and ISSN
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200414
Seriality principles
Recognition of change over time Basis of description Major/minor changes and impact on what is a
new work Note to monograph cataloguers: revised ch.12
also applies to series
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200415
Seriality issues still pending
Refinements to rules for serials and integrating resources including their application to series
Description of multipart monographs, particularly those issued over time
Clear definition of basis of description by mode of issuance
Some of these probably in 2004 amendments
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200416
Rule 0.24 and Content vs Carrier
Revised in 2001: “It is important to bring out all aspects of the
item being catalogued, including its content, its carrier, its type of publication, its bibliographic relationships, and whether it is published or unpublished. In any given area of description, all relevant aspects should be described.”
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200417
Much still to come
2001 rule 0.24 considered only a first step How does FRBR relate to the multiple versions
issue? JSC created the Format Variation Working
Group (FVWG) in 2001
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200418
Format Variation Working Group
Interim Report (Oct. 8, 2001) on JSC web Reaffirmed the manifestation as the basis of
the bibliographic record Describe the manifestation, collocate/index to
provide access to the expression and work Current task: revise ch.25 to provide for
headings for works and expressions Also, investigate GMD in an FRBR context
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200419
Incorporating FRBR terminology
JSC separated this task from the FVWG To align terminology of AACR with FRBR,
particularly work/expression/manifestation/item Propose Glossary definitions of FRBR terms Identify FRBR concepts already in the rules Not to actually change the intent of any rules!
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200420
Consistency Across Part I
A CC:DA Task Force Conservative mandate: promote consistency,
remove needless inconsistencies, move general rules to chapter 1
Open question – Will consistency be a step along a path to a new organization for Part I?
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200421
JSC current activities
Format Variation Working Group FRBR terminology GMDs Chapter 21 and the rule of 3 New Introductions
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200422
Electronic Resources
2001 revision of chapter 9 did not address issues relating to areas 3 and 5
Expect removal of area 3 (Type and extent of resource) from chapter 9 in 2004
CC:DA/BL task force to “reconceptualize” ch. 9 Linked to work on Part I as a whole
Jan. 29, 2004OLA SuperConference 200423
Authority Control as Part III?
Desire to address authority records explicitly More a reorganization of ch.22-26 than actual
new rules Part II would consist only of chapter 21: Choice
of access points Will consider the FRANAR report
