Abstract:

Recently, cataloguing procedures had to address the problem of processing remote electronic resources, not physically available in the library collections. This initiated reviewing the basic cataloguing premises based on the description of physical items, and directed attention towards a work rather than its manifestation. Plans for revision of a cataloguing code as AACR have again raised questions whether its strong influence worldwidecompetes with international recommendations as Paris Principles and ISBDs.Many cataloguing communities hesitate to create their own rules but acceptthe AACR together with systems and formats based on them. Slovenia has hada long tradition in its own cataloguing rules and is now deciding abouttheir new concept. Supporting generally the international recommendationsand following closely the recent developments, the introduction of a newcataloguing paradigm is expected anxiously.
