Item Báo cáo về Bộ Quy tắc Biên mục Quốc tế 2009(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2009-03) IFLA Cataloguing Section; IFLA Meetings of Experts on an International Cataloguing Code; Tillett, Barbara; Thu, Nguyÿn HoàiThe Statement of Principles – commonly known as the “Paris Principles” – was approved by the International Conference on Cataloguing Principles in 1961.1 Its goal of serving as a basis for international standardization in cataloguing has certainly been achieved: most of the cataloguing codes that were developed worldwide since that time followed the Principles strictly, or at least to a high degree. Over forty years later, having a common set of international cataloguing principles has become even more desirable as cataloguers and their clients use OPACs (Online Public Access Catalogues) around the world. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, an effort has been made by IFLA to produce a new statement of principles that are applicable to online library catalogues and beyond. The first principle is to serve the convenience of catalogue users. This statement replaces and broadens the scope of the Paris Principles from just textual works to all types of materials and from just the choice and form of entry to all aspects of bibliographic and authority data used in library catalogues. It includes not only principles and objectives (i.e., functions of the catalogue), but also guiding rules that should be included in cataloguing codes internationally, as well as guidance on search and retrieval capabilities.Item Declaração de princípios internacionais de catalogação 2009(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2009-04) IFLA Cataloguing Section; IFLA Meetings of Experts on an International Cataloguing Code; Tillett, Barbara; Alvarenga, Lidia; Milton Vianna, Márcia; Campos, Fernanda Maria; Cordeiro, Maria Inês; Galvão, Rosa Maria; Bezerra de Lima, Felipe; Dourado Arisawa Judici, Jane; Grings, Luciana; Pacheco, Stela Márcia; Gomes Pererra, Paulo CezarThe Statement of Principles – commonly known as the “Paris Principles” – was approved by the International Conference on Cataloguing Principles in 1961.1 Its goal of serving as a basis for international standardization in cataloguing has certainly been achieved: most of the cataloguing codes that were developed worldwide since that time followed the Principles strictly, or at least to a high degree.

Se ha conseguido, sin ninguna duda, su objetivo de servir como base para la normalización internacional en la catalogación: la mayoría de los códigos de catalogación que se desarrollaron en el mundo desde entonces siguieron los Principios estrictamente o, al menos, en un alto grado. Pasados más de cuarenta años, el contar con un conjunto común de principios internacionales de catalogación se ha convertido en algo más que deseable ya que los catalogadores y sus clientes utilizan OPACs (Catálogos de Acceso Público en Línea) en todo el mundo. Ahora, a comienzos del siglo XXI, la IFLA ha realizado un esfuerzo para presentar una nueva declaración de principios que se aplican a los catálogos en línea de bibliotecas e ir más allá. El primero de estos principios es atender los intereses del usuario del catálogo. Esta declaración sustituye y amplía el alcance de los Principios de París, desde obras textuales a todo tipo de materiales, y desde la elección y forma del encabezamiento a todos los aspectos de los datos bibliográficos y de autoridad utilizados en los catálogos de bibliotecas. No incluye únicamente principios y objetivos (es decir, funciones del catálogo), sino también las pautas que se deben incluir internacionalmente en los códigos de catalogación, así como orientación sobre las capacidades para la búsqueda y recuperación.Item Deklaracja międzynarodowych zasad katalogowania 2009(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2010-03) IFLA Cataloguing Section; IFLA Meetings of Experts on an International Cataloguing Code; Tillett, Barbara; Krynicka, MagdalenaThe Statement of Principles – commonly known as the “Paris Principles” – was approved by the International Conference on Cataloguing Principles in 1961.1 Its goal of serving as a basis for international standardization in cataloguing has certainly been achieved: most of the cataloguing codes that were developed worldwide since that time followed the Principles strictly, or at least to a high degree.

Sein Ziel, als Basis für die internationale Standardisierung in der Katalogisierung zu dienen, ist sicherlich erreicht worden: Die meisten Katalogisierungsregelwerke, die in der Folgezeit weltweit entwickelt wurden, folgten den Prinzipien ganz oder wenigstens in hohem Maß. Mehr als vierzig Jahre später ist das Bedürfnis nach gemeinsamen internationalen Katalogisierungsregeln gewachsen, weil Katalogisierer und Benutzer weltweit OPACs (Online Public Access Catalogues = Online-Benutzerkataloge) nutzen. An der Schwelle des 21. Jahrhunderts hat die IFLA einen Vorstoß unternommen, neue Prinzipien zu erarbeiten, die auf Online-Bibliothekskataloge und auch darüber hinaus anwendbar sind. Das oberste Prinzip ist der Komfort des Katalognutzers. Diese Erklärung ersetzt die “Paris Principles” und weitet den Geltungsbereich von rein textlichen Werken auf alle Materialarten aus und von der Bestimmung und Form einer Eintragung auf alle Aspekte von bibliografischen Daten und Normdaten, die in Bibliothekskatalogen genutzt werden. Sie umfasst nicht nur Prinzipien und Ziele (d. h. Funktionen des Katalogs), sondern auch Regelungen, die international in Katalogisierungsregelwerken enthalten sein sollten, und gibt Anleitung für Suchfunktionen.Item Final Report of the Working Group on Aggregates(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2011-09-12) O'Neill, Ed; Cato, Anders; Murtomaa, Eeva; Tillett, Barbara; Thurston, Patricia; Žumer, MajaThe Working Group on Aggregates was established in 2005 by the FRBR Review Group and submitted its final report on 12 September 2011. Its mandate was to explore the treatment of aggregates in the FRBR model. Common aggregates to be considered include: (1) Collections, selections, and anthologies, (2) Augmentations (original text augmented with illustrations, notes, introductions, etc.), (3) Monographic series, (4) Serials, (5) Multi-part monographs and (6) Integrating resources. Since aggregates are only briefly described in the original Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) report, at the 2005 IFLA FRBR Workshop in Dublin, Ohio and at the FRBR Review Group meeting in Oslo in 2005, difficulties and inconsistencies in applying the FRBR model to aggregates were identified as an impediment to FRBR implementation. The Working Group proposed a general model for aggregates and identified three distinct types of aggregates: (1) aggregate collections of expressions, (2) aggregates resulting from augmentation, and (3) aggregates of parallel expressions. Each type is illustrated with examples.Item IFLA Cataloguing Principles - Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (ICP) and its Glossary. In 20 Languages(K. G.

The goal for this meeting was to increase the ability to share cataloguing information worldwide by promoting standards for the content of bibliographic records and authority records used in library catalogues. Drafts of a Statement of Principles were discussed during this conference, and following by email. The final text was approved by all participants in December 2003.

The proceedings of that meeting were brought together in IFLA Series on Bibliographic Control; vol. 26 (2004). Future meetings will be held in Cairo, Egypt (December 2005) and Seoul, Korea (August 2006).
