which is under consideration by the JSC

comments and will direct the creation of
a new draft – so specifics may change!

Unpublished Resources
• General rules apply equally to published
and unpublished resources
– Separate subrules when necessary
• AACR2 Ch. 4 rules either:
– Recast as general rules, or
– Removed if inconsistent with the general
rules
Assembled Collections
• AACR2 rules pertaining to assembled
collections (primarily from Ch. 4)
– Chiefly incorporated into the General rules
– Some moved to Section B, if contentspecific
Published Resources
• Early printed resources
– Where appropriate, AACR2 Ch. 2 “extra” rules now
in
• General rules, or
• Supplementary rules for print and graphic media
– Introduction to AACR3 will direct specialists to
manuals with more detailed instructions
• No use of [S.l. : s.n.] or their equivalents for
unknown place or publisher
Resources Issued in Successive Parts
• AACR2 Ch. 12 rules moved to:
– General rules, if they apply to all resources
• Numbering area
– Chapter A2, covering resources issued in
successive parts
• Includes continuing and finite resources
– Chapter A3, covering integrating resources
Technical Description Area
• Renamed from “physical description
area”
• Split between General rules (Section A)
and Rules for specific types of media
(Section C)
• General rules expanded to provide
instructions for all types of resources
Specific Material Designation
• Describe in terms of
– Number of physical units
– Number of components
– Both
• Designed for clearer delineation of
– Physical units (3 v.)
– Presentation units (327 p.)
– Logical aggregations of content (score, part)
AACR3: Part II (Proposal)
• Choice of primary and secondary access
points
– Choosing headings for the description
– Choosing access points for works and expressions
• Layout should separate out decision making process
– “Rule of 3” – optional?
• Editorial tasks
– Rework Chapter 21
• Address issues associated with the concept of authorship
– Update terminology
– Review concept of “collection”
AACR3: Part III (Proposal)
• Form of access points (AACR2 Ch. 22-25)
– Incorporate authority control principles
– Rules on related references (integrating AACR2 Ch. 26)
• Uniform titles
– For collocation
• Construct a heading for a Work and its Expression
• Expandable
• Function like guidecards
– For uniquely identifying works
• Clearly identify serials and other successively updated
resources
• Link with variant forms of name, numeric identifiers, etc.
End of AACR2
• JSC no longer considering rule revision
proposals for AACR2
– Instead, proposals forwarded to General
Editor for possible inclusion in AACR3
• 2005 Amendments will be final update
– Consists of 6 pages of actual rule revisions,
plus the updated preliminary matter, etc.
Successor to LCRIs?
• Library of Congress will end LCRIs when
AACR2 ceases
• Will move to a different type of
documentation of cataloging decisions
– Still will clarify national choices when the
rules allow for options
– May provide additional examples and
procedural information
