CATALOGING AND CLASSIFICATION COMMITTEE
Report of the meeting at Toronto, June 1977
The overflow attendance of forty-two people at the annual meeting of the
Committee gave evidence of the resurging interest among conference attendees in the
subjects of cataloging and classification. In the absence of chairperson Cecilia
Kwan, Peter Enyingi, vice-chairperson, opened the meeting and then turned the proceed-
ings over to Phyllis Marion, incoming chairperson.
The main topic of discussion was the progress in the formulation of the law
rules in AACR 2. The Committee attempted to sort out once again what they felt should
be the thrust of the six rules concerning primary legal materials. The chairman, at
the same time, tried to relay the current feeling in the national Joint Steering
Committee concerning these rules and the results of her previous conversations with
Cecilia Kwan who has been the AALL representative to the JSC. (It should be remembered
that this discussion was predicated on certain recommendations AALL has made to the JSC
in the past and that the present committee was working with some compromises made,
by necessity, in the past.)
The discussion, in summary, was as follows:
1. There was almost unanimous agreement that laws should be entered under the
jurisdiction governed plus a collective title. (The concept of jurisdiction governed
also is followed in the other rules discussed in 2-6.) The collective title should
be used for all laws, not just general compilations; the uniform title of the individual
act should be added after the collective title when necessary.
Examples:
Compiled statutes of the U. S. Entry: United States.
