British Library Filing Rules Committee: a Progress Report

The British Library Filing Rules Committee aims to devise a code of filing rules for use by the British Library and to draw up a simplified sub‐set of rules for use by systems with less complex requirements. Considerations have included: 1. principles of filing; 2. identification of elements which have filing significance; 3. the filing order of these elements; 4. the filing order of characters within elements. This is an interim report and seeks comment from anyone interested; it is hoped that the final version of the rules will be published in 1975.
