What is the relationship between ISBD and Cataloguing codes ?

  • A.They are not related at all.
  • B.ISBD includes cataloguing rules
  • C.Cataloguing codes could include ISBD
  • D.They are one and the same

Answer: C

The relationship is that cataloguing codes could include ISBD.

The International Standard Bibliographic Description, developed by IFLA from 1969, prescribes only the descriptive part of a record: its areas, their order and the punctuation that separates them. Cataloguing codes go further, with rules for access points, headings and uniform titles, and they incorporate ISBD as their description; AACR2, for example, based its descriptive chapters on ISBD.

So ISBD does not include the cataloguing rules (the containment runs the other way), the two are not the same thing, and they are plainly related.
