***************************

As Chair of the IFLA Meeting of Experts on an International Cataloging Code (IME ICC) I am pleased to invite comments from the worldwide library community on the final draft of the Statement of International Cataloguing Principles and its accompanying Glossary. 

 

In order to provide the appropriate review period and to schedule adequate time to cumulate, analyze, and incorporate comments before the General Meeting of IFLA in August, the Statement is being posted today on a public Wiki.  The IFLA Headquarters Office is closed for holiday April 30-May 5th, but as soon as they return we will move the files there and redirect from the Wiki.  In the meantime please link to: 
http://catprinciples.pbwiki.com/ and view and/or download the Statement for your review; and please use the accompanying voting document for your response.



I thank John Hostage for setting up the Wiki and for his technical support and Ana Cristán for coordinating this process. I especially thank all the translators for preparing the texts for worldwide review:

Their efforts have enabled that this review will indeed be an international collaboration.
