AACR AACR Rule 0.24: “It is a cardinal principle of the use of part I that the description of a physical item should be based in the first instance on the chapter dealing with the class of material to which the item belongs.”

AACR Rule 0.24: “It is important to bring out all aspects of the item being described, including its content, its carrier, its type of publication, its bibliographic relationships, and whether it is published or unpublished.”

AACR Elimination of Rule 1.4D4 Chapter 3, Cartographic Materials –Change in GMD to [cartographic material] (no longer [globe] or [map]) –Change in “Mathematical and other material specific details area” Scale Projection

AACR Chapter 3, Cartographic Materials –Change in Mathematical and other material specific details area (continued) Type and extent Digital graphic representation Numbering related to serials

AACR Chapter 9, Electronic Resources  Change in name from ‘Computer files’ to ‘Electronic resources’ … data, games, graphics, images, music, programs, statistics…  Local and remote resources: Local: you insert… Remote: you access…

AACR B1 Chief Source of Information  "The chief source of information for electronic resources is the resource itself."  "If the information... varies in degree of fullness, prefer the source that provides the most complete information." 9.0B2 Prescribed Sources of Information  "The item itself, information issued by publisher, creator, etc., or any source, depending on area of description.”

AACR C General Material Designation  Optional, but "[electronic resource]" if used. 9.3 Type and Extent of Resource Area  "Type of resource" part of Area 3 (9.3B1) is required for resources available by remote access Electronic data Electronic program(s) Electronic data and program(s)  "Extent of resource" part of Area 3 (9.3B2) is not required for resources available by remote access.

AACR Publication, Distribution, etc., Area  9.4B1: "Record information about the place, name, and date of all types of publishing, distributing, etc., activities as instructed in 1.4B."  9.4B2: "Consider all remote access electronic resources to be published."

AACR Physical Description Area  As per footnote 2, under 9.5, "Do not give a physical description for an electronic resource that is available only by remote access. See 9.7B1c and 9.7B10."  9.7B1c: "Mode of access. If a resource is available only be remote access, always specify the mode of access. Begin the note with Mode of access:"  9.7B10: "Physical description... If the resource is available only by remote access, give the physical details [in a note] (e.g., colour, sound) if they are readily available and considered important."

AACR Physical Description Area  9.5B1 Optionally, use conventional terminology to record specific format of the physical carrier  1 CD-ROM (rather than 1 Computer optical disk)

AACR B1. Nature and scope, system requirements and mode of access  9.7B1a: "Nature and scope. Make notes on the nature and scope of the resource unless it is apparent from the rest of the description.“  9.7B1b: "System requirements. Make a note on the systems requirements of the resource if the information is readily available.“

9.7B1. Nature and scope, system requirements and mode of access 9.7B1c: "Mode of access. If a resource is available only be remote access, always specify the mode of access. Begin the note with Mode of access:." AACR2 2002

9.7B3 Source of the Title Proper Note  "Always give the source of the title proper." 9.7B8 Type and Extent of Resource Note  "Give information relating to the type and extent of the resource if it is considered to be important and not found elsewhere in the description." Electronic journal. Resource size varies.

AACR Chapter 12, Continuing Resources Definitions:  Continuing resource: A bibliographic resource that is issued over time with no predetermined conclusion. Continuing resources include serials and ongoing integrating resources

AACR Chapter 12, Continuing Resources Definitions:  Serial: A continuing resource issued in a succession of discrete parts, usually bearing numbering, that has no predetermined conclusion. Examples of serials include journals, magazines, electronic journals, continuing directories, annual reports, newspapers, and monographic series.

AACR Chapter 12, Continuing Resources Definitions:  Integrating resource: A bibliographic resource that is added to or changed by means of updates that do not remain discrete and are integrated into the whole. Integrating resources can be finite or continuing. Examples of integrating resources include updating loose-leafs and updating web sites.

AACR B1 Basis of the description  Serials: Base the description of a serial on the first issue or part or, lacking this, on the earliest available issue or part.  Integrating resources: Base the description of an integrating resource, except the beginning date of publication, on the current iteration of that resource.

AACR B8Change in title proper  Serials: If a major change in the title proper occurs, make a new description. If a minor change occurs in the title proper on a subsequent issue or part, in general, give the later title in a note.  Integrating resources: If any change in the title proper occurs on a subsequent iteration, change the title and statement of responsibility area to reflect the current iteration and, in general, give the earlier title in a note.

AACR F3 Editors  Serials: Do not record as statements of responsibility relating to persons who are editors  Integrating resources: Record statements relating to persons who are editors as statements of responsibility if considered to be important 12.3 Numbering area  Serials: Give this area for serials if cataloguing from the first and/or last issue or part.  Integrating resources: This area is not generally applicable.

AACR Publication Information  Serials: If the place of publication or name of publisher changes on a subsequent issue or part, give the later place or name in a note if considered to be important.  Integrating resources: If the place of publication or the name of the publisher changes on a subsequent iteration, change the place of publication or name of publisher to reflect the current iteration and give the earlier place or name in a note if considered to be important.
