SELECTED DOCUMENTS FROM LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RULE INTERPRETATIONS, 2002, UPDATE NO. 4

Some of the documents in Update no. 2 include statements referring users to the CPSO Web site for further information because final decisions had not yet been made. These decisions for rules 1.1B1, 1.4F8, 1.7B23, and 12.7B8 have now been made for Library of Congress (LC) and Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) catalogers. Links to the documents are provided below until Update no. 4 has been added to Cataloger's Desktop.

Four other documents in Update no. 4 are important for the implementation of Revision 2002 of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules on December 1, 2002. Links to the documents for 12.1B2, 12.7A2, 21.2A, 21.30J, and 26.5A are provided below until Update no. 4 has been added to Cataloger's Desktop.
