Features: Considering the significant additions and modifications made by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) to UNIMARC over the past five years, to keep China's machine-readable cataloging format aligned with international developments and adapted to domestic cataloging needs, the authors began revising the edition in July 2000. The main contents of the revision work include: · Supplementing and revising based on the opinions and suggestions collected over the past five years, as well as the new version of UNIMARC. · Correcting some inappropriate or erroneous textual expressions in the original Manual. · Enriching and correcting a batch of application examples. This revision still retains some Western examples in certain fields, with the purpose of providing reference for Chinese libraries when handling foreign book catalogs.
