Indexing Standards and Guidelines for Bibliographic Records, Section F of the Standards & Guidelines for Automated Library Systems, originally approved in September 1998, was developed to specify requirements for three aspects of automated library systems: types of searches; MARC data elements indexed; and system features for accessing indexed data. The revision of these guidelines prepared by the Indexing Standards Working Group in 2004 and completed in 2005 continues to concentrate on these three areas.
