Liebe KollegInnen,

> REPORT ON THE HARMONIZATION OF GERMAN AND AACR2 CATALOGING RULES
> AVAILABLE
>
> DUBLIN, Ohio, Feb. 9, 1998  
> The final report of the REUSE project, 
> which focused on harmonizing German and AACR2 cataloging rules, 
> is now available on the OCLC Web site. 
>
> In October 1995, OCLC, the Library of Congress (LC) and the State and
> University Library of Goettingen, seat of the Regional Library
> Network for Central and Northern Germany, agreed to join in Project 
> REUSE with the goal of enhancing international bibliographic 
> compatibility.
>
> "The cooperation of the American and German catalogers in the REUSE
> project brought two library cultures into closer contact," said Elmar
> Mittler, director, Niedersaechsische Staats-und Universitaetsbibliothek,
> Goettingen.  "The insights and proposals generated by this project
> may be helpful for future library practice in accessing printed and 
> digital material via common metadata."
>
> The REUSE report includes information on how the project was executed.
> For instance, during the course of the project, participants were able
> to compare corporate name headings created according to the Regeln 
> fuer die Alphabetische Katalogisierung (RAK--Rules for Alphabetical
> Cataloging) and headings for the same records created according to the
> Anglo-American Cataloging Rules-, 2nd Edition, and found in the 
> Library of Congress Name Authority File.
>
> The report also lists the goals and assumptions agreed upon by the
> participants in September 1995, lists the participants and describes 
> the organizational structure of the project, gives a short account 
> of the methodological approach adopted, reviews the results achieved, 
  briefly discusses possible relations with ongoing activities in the 
> field, and concludes with a series of observations. 
>
> "The project was launched in a time when the German library public
> demanded harmonization with AACR as well as online adoption," said
> Monika Muennich, head, Cataloging Department, University of Heidelberg
> Library.  "So REUSE and Expert Group RAK cooperated in the analysis
> and on the conclusions of how to proceed in exchanging data in the 
> future. A considerable number of changes in cataloging rules are being 
> discussed in order to harmonize with AACR.  The cooperation of OCLC 
> and LC colleagues with the German experts prepared a platform of ideal
> international communication."
>
> "OCLC was pleased to provide assistance and facilities to bring together
> experts from both the Anglo-American and German cataloging traditions
> to examine the two codes," said Janet Mitchell Lees, managing director,
> OCLC Europe.  "As with many international projects, fully understanding
> each community's practices is an important first step in being able to
> make progress toward the shared goal of greater exchange of
> bibliographic data worldwide."
>

> http://www.oclc.org/oclc/cataloging/reuse_project/index.htm.
>
> In addition to the project documentation, the Web site includes related
> information, such as OCLC Newsletter articles on REUSE and on the
> similar Russian project, and links to the University of Goettingen, 
> OCLC and OCLC Europe.
