Task Force Charge

The Joint ALCTS/ACRL Task Force on Cataloging Rules for Early Printed Monographs was charged to investigate the use of the rules for early printed monographs in chapter 2 of AACR2 and to present in its final report answers to the four major questions posed in CC:DA/Attig/2003/4:

  1. Are the special rules needed in AACR?
  2. If so, what should be the scope of the rules?
  3. Should such rules conform to either DCRM(B) or ISBD(A)?
  4. What principles should inform such rules?
The Task Force submitted its final report by 24 July 2004 to Mary Larsgaard, Chair, CC:DA, and Deborah J. Leslie, Chair, RBMS BSC.
