Abstract

NAUMIS PENA, Catalina. Bibliographic record and references: a conceptual revision. Rev. Interam. Bibliot [online]. 2008, vol.31, n.1, pp.227-245. ISSN 0120-0976.

In this work the confusion between bibliographic record and references arising from the use of the word bibliography in everyday language is analyzed. This analysis is conducted from the rearrangement stated in the current new standards and the meaning in the bibliographic theory. In the conceptual model expressed in the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), the use of the same descriptive normativity for both cataloging and bibliography is explicitly advocated. International organizations such as IFLA, in response to the dizzying growth of information by means of diverse supports, aim to unify the descriptive criteria in order to guide bibliographers for the 21st Century. The ancient dichotomy between bibliographic standards and cataloguing rules disappeared, and references and citation styles with the minimum required data in the scientific texts remain. However, they are not enough in a work conceived from a bibliographic methodology.

Keywords : bibliography; bibliographic record; bibliographic reference; bibliographic description.
