“Rules are made to be broken … or stretched and interpreted: AACR as inspiration” Sherman Clarke New York University Libraries ARLIS/NA 2005

Rules may be simple, but cataloging isn’t. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is his. (The Jerusalem Bible, Exodus 20:17)

Cutter’s Objects and Means To enable a person to find a book for which either the author, the title, or the subject is known. To show what the library has by a given author, on a given subject, or in a given kind of literature. To assist in the choice of a book as to its edition or as to its character. Author-entry with necessary references. Title-entry or -reference. Subject-entry, cross- references, and classed subject-table. Form- and language-entry. Edition and imprint. Notes.

What are you cataloging? Who? What? When? Where? How does it fit in your catalog?

Jesse Shera’s two principles of cataloging No two catalogers will catalog something the same way. You won’t catalog something the same way six months from now.

….. but if you share rules, vocabularies, and other standards, there is hope of being able to share cataloging records, even across cataloging communities
