Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR) Art A detailed set of standardized rules for cataloging various types of library materials which had its origin in Catalog Rules: Author and Title Entries published in 1908 under the auspices of the American Library Association and the Library Association (UK), and the A.L.A. Cataloging Rules for Author and Title Entries (1949), with its companion volume Rules for Descriptive Cataloging in the Library of Congress. Cooperation between the ALA, the Library Association, and the Canadian Library Association resumed with the joint publication in 1967 of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, which is divided into two parts: rules for creating the bibliographic description of an item of any type, and rules governing the choice and form of entry of headings (access points) in the catalog. A second edition (AACR2) was published in 1978 and revised in 1988 (AACR2R) to reflect changes in information formats. The 1998 revision includes changes and corrections authorized by the Joint Steering Committee (JSC) for revision of AACR since 1988, including amendments authorized through 1997. Additional amendments were issued in 1999 and 2001. AACR2-e is a hypertext version published by ALA Editions that includes all amendments through 2001. See also: Paris Principles and catalog code.
