Revising AACR2 to Accommodate Seriality
The Joint Steering Committee charged Jean Hirons of the Library of Congress with recommending rule revisions in support of the recommendations in the paper, Issues Related to Seriality presented at the Toronto Conference by Jean Hirons and Crystal Graham.
The first result was a report containing specific recommendations, but without rule revision proposals; this report was submitted in April 1999 and considered at the
October 1999 JSC Meeting in Brisbane, Australia.
Guided by the JSC decisions, a set of rule revision proposals was prepared and submitted in February 2000 and were discussed at the September 2000 JSC Meeting in London, England. These proposals, along with comments from the constituent bodies, were reviewed at the September 2000 JSC meeting in London, England, and again at the April 2001 JSC meeting in Washington, DC. The Library of Congress representative prepared a clean version of chapter 12, and final decisions were made at the October 2001 JSC meeting. The revised chapter is included in the 2002 revision of AACR.
