This is the latest report in a process towards International Cataloguing Principles that began in 2003 and will continue through 2007. Through the series of meetings represented by each volume the reader will be able to track the development and consultation taking place throughout the different parts of the world that will culminate with the creation of a truly international set of principles to guide the development of cataloguing codes worldwide. This volume contains information in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean on the recommendations of cataloguing experts from countries in Asia. The April 2007 draft Statement on International Cataloguing Principles included here reflects the votes of agreement from all participants of the IME ICC1 (Europe and Anglo-American), IME ICC2 (Latin America and the Caribbean), IME ICC3 (Middle East), and IME ICC4 (Asia).
