From ISBD(CF) to ISBD(ER): Process, Policy, and Provisions

Abstract

The International Standard Bibliographic Description for Computer Files (ISBD(CF)) has been revised recently to take account of rapid changes in this important medium. In addition to setting out the process by which the revision was accomplished and the policies incorporated in the International Standard Bibliographic Description for Electronic Resources (ISBD(ER)), we provide a detailed indication of the stipulations of the ISBD(ER). With the emergence of this international standard, the next step is for the agencies responsible for national cataloging codes to update their rules.
