ABSTRACT

Much of this history discusses the personal experience and recollections of the author, who since 1967 has been involved in the development of rules for nonbook cataloguing as an author of one of the works on which the AACR rules for nonbook materials are based, as a member of many cataloguing committees, and as chair of the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR. Opposing points of view are described and reasons for actions taken are outlined. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-342-9678.
