Winkler, American Libra s ry Association, editors the Canadian Library Association, and the Library Association 640 pages C loth: ISBN 0-8389-3210-: $15.00 Paper: ISBN 0-8389-3211-8 $ 10.00 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 con­ solidates the achievements of the first and builds on them to meet the chal­ lenges of development and change. In an intensive three-year project, two distinguished editors and an inter­ national 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 edi­ tion. AACR 2 incorporates the latest international standards, makes pro­ vision 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 im­ portance: the rules for Description are presented in an integrated structure that provides a uniform basis for re­ cording not only every known category of print and nonprint material, but those still unknown and uninvented. AACR 2 can be the Code to take cataloguing into the twenty-first century. Order your copies now!
