Comments<br />

ALA: The Society <strong>of</strong> American<br />

Archivists recommends revising the<br />

definition as follows:<br />

A collection <strong>of</strong> resources not<br />

published, distributed, or produced<br />

together but assembled by a library, a<br />

cataloguing agency, a previous owner,<br />

a dealer, etc., or created and/or<br />

accumulated and used by a particular<br />

person, family, or corporate body in<br />

the course <strong>of</strong> that creator’s activities<br />

and functions.<br />

Rationale: Clarify that the definition<br />

includes what archivists refer to as<br />

“fonds.”<br />

In In draft Required in<br />

<strong>AACR</strong>2 <strong>AACR</strong>3 Glossary<br />

CILIP: The definition should make it<br />

plain that it covers distributed<br />

collections; that is, collections which<br />

are not stored in a single contiguous<br />

location. This will clarify application <strong>of</strong><br />

the rules to collections assembled by<br />

multibranch services, or stored in split<br />

locations within a library <strong>for</strong> curation<br />

purposes, etc.<br />

LC: A collection <strong>of</strong> resources not<br />

published, distributed, or produced<br />

together but assembled by a library, a<br />

cataloging agency, a previous owner,<br />

a dealer, etc.; or, created and/or<br />

accumulated and used by a particular<br />

person, family, or corporate body in<br />

the course <strong>of</strong> that creator’s activities
