5 Use of Bibliographic Conceptual level Croatian cataloguing rules and practice & their implementation into the UNIMARC formats: To follow or not to follow? Decision: to follow as far as allows it, not to follow where commands differently!

6 Use of Bibliographic Bibliographic conditions: New types of materials (e.g. web resources) follow Content vs. Carrier (Literary vs. Bibliographic unit) (e.g. e-resources, reproductions) change the practice Main/Added entry (heading) different concept: follow

7 Use of Bibliographic Bibliographic conditions: Multilevel description (e.g. multivolume publications, monographs in a series, analytics in a serial, supplement/parent publication) the practice retained Recording/Transcribing data from the source & ISBD punctuation follow Coded data (e.g. codes for language, country, character sets - normalisation) change ISO; follow

content vs. carrier) Main/Added entry (e.g. syndetic/linking structure: literary vs.

14 Some conclusions Conversion UNIMARC : Loss of coded data (e.g. rare books) & information value of bibliographic data elements New types of resources: well accommodated Maintenance of the format: additions? Croatian cataloguing rules: national tradition? Users: Is there an impact, if at all?
