Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (1967)

How do you rate a reference? ( )

What, no one is going to review the AACR2? What we called in our cataloging class the "enormous white binder," but never the AACR2. At any rate, the rules in the AACR2 are, indeed, very helpful for the in-depth cataloger, but some of them are just confusing. I think the verbiage could be tidied up a bit, and maybe the whole thing can be switched to an electronic version so that the enormous white binder monstrosity would cease to exist. ( )

The most important reference source for cataloging. I really preferred this older edition more so than the most current form, as this is actually in book form. All the current editions are in binder form so they can be more easily updated whenever something changes. I am using this book in a cataloging class for library tech degree. ( )

A great classic for cataloguers. Even clearer than previous editions.

Really, is anyone allowed to say anything bad about the driest, most anal-retentive set of rules ever created? But we need it and live by it, so what can you do. ( )
