List of Changes in Amendments 2002

The 2002 revision of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second edition consists of the 1998 revision plus the 1999, 2001 and 2002 amendments approved by the JSC. The 1999 and 2001 amendments were made available as separate packages, but the 2002 amendments were not.

In response to a constituency request, the following list of rules changed in the 2002 amendments has been prepared. For a broad overview of the changes see the “Summary of Rule Revisions since AACR Second Edition 1998 Revision” on pp. xvii-xx of the 2002 revision. Both chapter 3 and chapter 12 were comprehensively revised in the 2002 amendments, and details of the rules changed are not included in this list.

Many rule changes in the list are minor, such as renumbering of rules following the deletion of a rule, or a typographical change due to proofreading. When the only change has been to a reference to another rule the term “(rule ref)” has been used.
