"The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) is a multinational content standard for providing bibliographic description and access for all media. It is independent of the format used to communicate information. It enables users of library catalogues and other systems of information organization to find resources appropriate to their information needs. While developed for use in English language communities, it can also be used in other language communities.
The present book provides an in-depth analysis of the historical background, basic principles, structures and advantages of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules in a lucid style. It is primarily intended to meet the requirements of advanced students, researchers and professionals in the field of library and information science." (jacket)
