The DVD Cataloging Task Force is charged with developing guidelines to aid
in the cataloging of materials issued in DVD format. The guidelines will
provide a basic introduction to DVDs, explanations of the different types
of DVDs, discussion of problems associated with identifying relevant
information, suggestions for successful cataloging DVDs based on the
appropriate rules in AACR2R, applicable amendments and LC Rule
Interpretations. MARC-coded examples which illustrate solutions to common
problems will be provided. A selected list of reference sources (print
and electronic) will be created. Publication of the guidelines will be
initially on the OLAC website with possible paper distribution as an
option.
