If you were in a cataloging-related position during the use of both AACR1 and
AACR2 cataloging rules, your participation in a research survey would be
greatly appreciated. The survey focuses on the perspectives of catalogers
who worked with both sets of rules about their implementation and work
experiences with them. In addition, responses are sought on how to
incorporate the new RDA cataloging standard into the profession, based on
earlier experiences with AACR1 and AACR2. While there has been much in the
cataloging literature about the theoretical development and use of AACR1,
AACR2, and RDA, few studies have examined the views of individual catalogers
on the practical implementation and use of these rules and standards.
Participants in the survey will not be personally identified, and the information
provided could be very helpful in better understanding the transition and
implementation processes of differing cataloging rules and standards. The
results of the survey will be submitted to a professional journal for publication
consideration. If you are interested in participating in the survey, please click
