If I weren't already engaged to Actor Lad, I'd definitely propose to you Tamper Lad. Just sayin'...

(Don't worry Luna, we can still keep having sleepovers after I tie the knot. )

A Legion World wedding? Where have I been to have missed this?

And Cali--did you know that once me and Luna were gonna be married? Loooooooooooooong story...

Marriage. A lovely institution.

As I was saying, according to the second edition of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, section 1.1b4:

Abridge a long title proper only if this can be done without loss of essential information. Never omit any of the first five words of a title proper (excluding the alternative title). Indicate omissions by the mark of omission.

DIE! Thread! DIE!

See? Cataloguing isn't just the most fascinating thing since the accordian, it's fun besides!

Section 1.02G of AACR2 states:

Add accents and other diacritical marks that are not present in the data found in the source of information in accordance with the usage of the language used in the context.

ARRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

DIE YOU BASTICH THREAD!!!!!

DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!

Section 1.1F9 states:
Replace symbols or other matter that cannot be reproduced by the facilities available with the cataloguer's description in square brackets. Make an explanatory note if necessary.

ARRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

Section 4.7B5
Make notes on titles borne by the item other than the title proper. Optionally, give a romanization of the title proper.

Section 5.3A1
Precede this area by a full stop, space, dash, space.

So, I take it other countries have their own cataloguing systems that they use for their libraries? Have there been major movements to internationalize cataloguing systems?

ARRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

Not that I'm aware. The major English-speaking countries all use some form of AACR.

Ah, I remember when I was in grad school taking cataloguing. The prof would begin each class with a 15-minute monologue about her Bedlington terriers, followed by two and a half hours about descriptive cataloguing or whatever the subject of the day was.

I remember the day we had a tornado and she just looked out the window and said "Don't worry, the sky's not green enough" and droned on about something to do with periodicals. *snif* Those were good times.

We often heard about the Bedlington terriers' obedience trials. Their names were Farnsworth and Dudley Do-Right. I almost felt as if I knew them.

And when she talked about serials! It made me wish every meal was breakfast!

That auto-reply feature sure is nifty!

Sure is, but not as nifty as cataloguing, Bedlington terriers and Library of Congress subject headings!
