Изложение на Международните Принципи на Каталогизацията 2009

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年经国际编目原则大会（International Conference on Cataloguing Principles）审议通过。其旨在作为编目领域国际标准化的基础，这一目标已然实现：自彼时起全球范围内制定的绝大多数编目规则，均严格遵循或至少在较高程度上贴合该原则。四十余年后，随着全球编目员及其服务对象广泛使用OPAC（Online Public Access Catalogues，联机公共检索目录），一套统一的国际编目原则愈发成为业界迫切需求。如今，在21世纪伊始，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。该声明的首要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：从仅覆盖文本作品拓展至所有类型的载体资源，从仅涉及款目的选择与形式，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），还包含应纳入国际编目规则的指导性规范，以及有关检索功能的操作指南。
