International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD)

International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) is a set of rules for recording the essential information about various types of publications, such as books, articles, and other media. Developed to ensure consistency and clarity in cataloging, ISBD helps librarians and researchers organize and locate materials efficiently. It outlines specific elements to include, like the title, author, publication date, and format, in a standardized way. This standardization makes it easier for people around the world to share and access information, thereby enhancing communication and understanding in the field of bibliographic data.
