Update 14 includes sections that have been changed or added because of the 2002 revision of AACR2.  For example, B7 is a new section on integrating resources; the coverage of C10 has been expanded to include discussion of integrating entry; changes in MARC 21 have been incorporated (e.g. entry convention code 2, changes in the names of some fields); and references to new or changed rules and LCRIs have been included throughout the text.  Record and field examples have been formatted to use the dollar sign $ for the delimiter in subfield codes and the number sign # for blank spaces.  This update also includes many corrections and clarifications that have been collected from CEG users since the last update in 2001.
