dear professional it is very shocking news that a non-LIS person appointed as Director-INFLIBNET. which is total injustice to LIS professionals in the country. At one hand the essential qualification shows that the person from relevant field. however the appointed person is from Statistics, which is not relevant field . the whole profession is disturbed from this decision. ILA is taking it so seriously. we are taking the appointment to meet the honourable Minister of HRD in this regards.the name of INFLIBNET in it self says library network. I request the all professionals, state association that we all should oppose this decision. ILA is representing against this appointment. All professional opposing the same in social media it should also be opposed in writing to authorities, Honourable PM, UGC and other bodies. Further development regarding representations etc will be posted in social media. -- - *Thanks & Regards* Dr.Pardeep Rai Librarian, Maitreyi College( University of Delhi ) I ChanakyaPuri New Delhi-110021 Email: raipardeep(a)gmail.com I M:9899359373 I General Secretary, Indian Library Association https://www.ilaindia.net Standing Committee Member, IFLA Government Information and Official Publications Section, (GIOPS) https://www.ifla.org/standing-committee/17 Member, Professional Development Advisory Council, SLA https://www.sla.org/governance/committeescouncilsreps/professional-developm… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

An article on Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)
by Salman Haider 09 Dec '18

09 Dec '18

Librarians still love AACR. Here is a description of a new article published on AACR. *Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) <https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2018/12/anglo-american-cataloguing-rul…>* Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) is the essential international cataloguing code used for descriptive cataloging of various types of information resources by libraries in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Australia as well as in many other countries. It was first developed in 1967 and updated regularly until 2005. The revisions and updates of the standard are referred to as AACR2. The second edition of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) is the most widely used cataloging code, designed for use in the construction of catalogs and other lists in general libraries of all sizes. AACR2 comprise a detailed set of rules and guidelines for producing metadata in a surrogate record to represent a library resource. The rules cover the standard description of areas like, the title, publisher, edition, series, etc., as well as the provision of choice and form of access points (headings) for all materials which a library may hold or to which it may have access, including books, serials, cartographic materials, electronic resources, etc. AACR also provides rules for the formulation of standard forms of names and titles to provide access to and grouping of those descriptions. AACR2 standardized cataloging and ensured consistency within the catalog and between the catalogs of libraries using the same code in describing the physical attributes of library materials identically. AACR marked a shift from the previous cataloging rules, which were criticized for being too detailed, complex, and mere compilations of rules to handle specific bibliographic cases. Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules are considered as the most important advances in English-language codes for descriptive cataloging during the twentieth century. *Contents* 1. Background 2.
