Abstract

The International Conference on Cataloguing Principles (ICCP), which was held in Paris in October 1961 under the auspices of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), succeeded in arriving at an agreement which was acceptable to the great majority of those present and which has become the basis for subsequent work on the revision of cataloguing codes in many countries. The separate clauses of the agreement, with one exception, were approved by votes varying from unanimity to a majority of forty‐four to fourteen, the exception being a clause of which alternative versions, differing in emphasis rather than substance, received respectively thirty‐four and twenty‐five out of a possible sixty‐three votes.
