The Statement of Principles – commonly known as the “Paris Principles” – was approved by the International Conference on Cataloguing Principles in 1961.1 Its goal of serving as a basis for international standardization in cataloguing has certainly been achieved: most of the cataloguing codes that were developed worldwide since that time followed the Principles strictly, or at least to a high degree. Over forty years later, having a common set of international cataloguing principles has become even more desirable as cataloguers and their clients use OPACs (Online Public Access Catalogues) around the world. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, an effort has been made by IFLA to produce a new statement of principles that are applicable to online library catalogues and beyond. The first principle is to serve the convenience of catalogue users. This statement replaces and broadens the scope of the Paris Principles from just textual works to all types of materials and from just the choice and form of entry to all aspects of bibliographic and authority data used in library catalogues. It includes not only principles and objectives (i.e., functions of the catalogue), but also guiding rules that should be included in cataloguing codes internationally, as well as guidance on search and retrieval capabilities.

《原则声明》（通称为“巴黎原则”）于1961年获国际编目原则会议（International Conference on Cataloguing Principles）审议通过。其作为编目领域国际标准化基础的目标已然实现：自彼时起全球范围内制定的绝大多数编目规则，均严格遵循该原则，或至少在很大程度上契合该原则。四十余年后，随着全球编目员及其用户广泛使用OPAC（联机公共检索目录，Online Public Access Catalogue），制定一套统一的国际编目原则变得愈发必要。如今，在21世纪之初，国际图书馆协会联合会（IFLA）已着手制定一套适用于在线图书馆目录及其他相关场景的全新原则声明。首项原则为便利目录用户的使用。该声明取代并拓展了巴黎原则的适用范围：从仅覆盖文字作品拓展至所有类型的馆藏资源，从仅规范款目的选择与形式，拓展至图书馆目录中使用的书目数据与规范数据的所有方面。其不仅涵盖编目原则与目标（即目录的功能），还包含国际编目规则中应纳入的指导性规范，以及关于检索功能的相关指引。
