La nueva área 0 de la ISBD y su aplicación en la enseñanza de la catalogación de recursos bibliográficos distintos al libro impreso

The International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) area 0 was first included in the ISBD Consolidated Edition published in July 2011, replacing the General Material Designation. This paper describes briefly the background of area 0 and the reasons that led to its creation. Also, it details the structure, elements and usage examples, and analyses its compatibility with MARC format, with RDA vocabularies and with FRBR conceptual model. Finally, in relation to the creation of this new area and its application to the current variety of existing bibliographic resources, this paper reflects about the change of paradigm in cataloging and the challenges in teaching cataloging of non-book bibliographic materials.
