Much doubts arise in the Nippon Cataloguing Rules, 1952, concerning with the collections and series on practice. It has the rules that the main entry is made under the first mentioned author even when there are more than four authors, while it has also other rules which permits that a compiler or an editor can also be entered under the main entry same as the author. As a result, at present, these rules are left in confusion.
At the IFLA International Conference on Cataloging Principles which was held at Paris in 1961, the rules relating to the works of the joint authorship were revised: the authorship was established and it was differentiated from an editor and a compiler. Subjecting to the idea of the statement of the Paris Conference, JLA Committee on Cataloging is making a draft of the revised cataloging rules.
