Comparison of cataloguing codes: Croatian vs. American cataloguing practice

It is fair to say that due to rapid changes in the library environment, the advances of tehnology and introduction of new library material almost all cataloguing codes in the world are becoming obsolete. This is particularly true for the Croatian cataloguing code that has not been revised since 1986 (and even then, only partly). The purpose of this paper is to examine closely two cataloguing codes: American and Croatian, and find out the similarities and differences in their approaches and solutions of certain bibliographic problems. The comparison with the American code is particularly significant since the new revised edition of the code, entitled Resource Description and Access, is going to affect the cataloguing community at the global level and it is greatly based on Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. The paper finishes with the recommendations for the changes and revisions in Croatian code
