New IFLA Standard: Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (ICP) 2016

The latest revision of the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles (ICP) 2016 has been announced by IFLA. This statement builds on the great cataloguing traditions of the world, as well as on the conceptual models in the IFLA Functional Requirements family. The aim of these principles is to help to increase the international sharing of bibliographic and authority data, and to guide cataloguing rule makers in their efforts. Translations into various languages are already in progress.
