QUESTION 1

1.1.

Before compiling a bibliographic record, Lesiba must carefully examine specific parts of the
book. These parts provide the key information needed for accurate cataloguing using
AACR2R.




Title Page

The title page is the most important source of information for cataloguing. It provides the
official title of the book, the name of the author or authors, and sometimes the edition
statement. Cataloguers rely heavily on this page because it represents how the publisher
formally presents the book.
