Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)

The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) are a set of guidelines used by librarians to organize and describe library materials such as books, DVDs, and journals. They help ensure that each item has consistent, accurate catalog information like titles, authors, publication details, and subject headings. This standardized system makes it easier for users to find and access materials in libraries worldwide. Essentially, AACR provides a clear framework for creating detailed and uniform catalog records, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of library catalogues.
