This study analyzed guidelines and instructions for access points representing works and expressions in RDA. The preferred title for the work is used as the basis for constructing an authorized access point to represent a work or expression. If applicable, the authorized access point is constructed by combining the preferred title for the work to the authorized access point for the identity with principal responsibility for the work. The variant titles for the work are used as the basis for constructing variant access points to represent a work or expression. If the authorized access point is constructed by combining the preferred title for the work to the authorized access point for the identity responsible for the work, the variant access points are constructed by combining the variant titles for the work to the authorized access point, and by using only the preferred title for the work. Besides, RDA provides instructions to construct the controlled access points for special works like musical works, laws, religious works and others, but the general principles for these works are same as the above instructions. The authorized access points for works and expressions in RDA are almost same as the main entry headings in AACR2.

Many changes have been made on the cataloging rules on filmstrips and slides all the way from the Cox's rules of 1963 to AACR 2 of 1978. The purpose of this study is to analyze eight major British and American cataloging rules on filmstrips and slides, from the results of which to identify what major changes have been made chronologically, and to clarify major differences among them in describing the form ol Physical Description Area. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows: 1. In order to make a clear distinction from one element to the other in Physical Description Area, the use of punctuation has been made more concrete. In AACR 2, various punctuations in accordance with the each element's character are used. 2. The rules on the describing the number of physical units of filmstrips have got more and more specified. 3. The descriptive form of specific material designation is closely related to the existence or nonexistence of rules on the general material designation in the body of entry. Therefore, the rules of AECT and CLA having rules on the general material designation do not use the specific material designation in Physical Description Area. On the other hand, ISBD(NBM), LA rules and AACR 2 which makes it optional to use the general material designation prescribe to use the specific material designation. 4. As for the descriptions of the physical status other than the unit and size of the filmstrips and slides, the first LC card and Cox's rules, had the color designation, and the CLA rules had sound designation. In the LA rules, AACR1(Chapter 12 Revised) and AACR 2, the detailed description of the physical status including the indication of color, sound, kind of frame, time etc. has become more and more important for Physical Description Area. 5. All the rules adopt millimetre as the measuring unit of the size of filmstrips. For the slides, most rules employ inch instead. But LA rules and ISBD(NBM) use centimeters, and AACR 2 takes either inch or centimeters. 6. Most rules, including Cox's rules, give the information on the accompanying materials. The information has been added as the last element of the Physical Description Area in the AACR 2, and recognized very important.

This study has been done to review the historical development of the cataloging system of books with emphasis on those in England and the U. S. The findings can be summarized as follows: (1) In 1844, Sir Panizzi invented what seems to be the first of its kind in history to list the inventory systematically at the British Museum. It is believed to be a complete system consisting of 91 articles. (2) A comparatively systematic system was developed in America by Jewett. in 1852. Composed of only 39 articles, the system is considered a renovative one worked out with due regard to the infrastructure of a library. (3) In 1876, a classic system based on a lexicographical order was set up by Cutter. Rated as the best one that was designed by an individual, the theory has since exercised widespreading effects on cataloging. (4) American and British library scientists collaborated in printing several editions of numerous volumes on the principles of classification, but they are not believed fully successful in establishing a consistent and compressive system. Their efforts found significance rather in their being the first international collaboration and setting a foundation upon which the international system of today has been developed. (5) The ALA Rule, published concurrently in ALA and LC in 1949, had two parts in its classification, the list of authors and that of titles. Its scientific classification has completed the cataloging of books in its developmental stage. (6) The 1967 American-British Rules integrated the cataloging systems published under separate covers by authors and titles. The system as well as the 1961 Paris System has greatly contributed to the standardization of bibliographical description throughout the English-speaking countries. The International Standard Book Description standardized Bibliographic system has enabled the librarians in different countries to exchange their bibliographical sources easily, helped to overcome the language barrier in listing and contributed to the efficient reading of bibliographical records through machines. (7) The second edition of the Angelo-American cataloging Rules, promulgated in 1978 under the influence of the international standard bibliographical description, was the one in which all the previous Rules were revised to have their strong points. The adoption of punctuation system to employ the computerized data processing and the standardization of description are expected to improve the cataloging system not only in the English speaking countries but in the Universal Bibliographic Control as well.
