This is a preliminary draft only; any comments and suggestions to improve this list are most welcome. ScopeThe Cataloguing Section analyzes the functions of cataloguing activities for all types of material and media, including both bibliographic and authority information, for the benefit of all users. The Section proposes and develops cataloguing rules, guidelines and standards for bibliographic information taking into account the developing electronic and networked environment in order to promote universal access to and exchange of bibliographic and authority information. The Section has close relationships with many organizations and institutions including national cataloguing and standardization committees, various multinational organizations, various committees of ISO, especially with TC46, with the Bibliography Section, Classification and Indexing Section, and Information Technology Section, and in particular with ICABS (IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Bibliographic Standards).
