Evaluasi IDB

Berikut ini adalah hal-hal yang perlu dipertimbangkan dalam mengevaluasi "Islamic Database" :

Dalam AACR2, pada bagian pertama (part 1) terdapat acuan description yang mengatur bagaimana cara membuat deskripsi bibliografi dari macam-macam dokumen yang dikelompokan dalam 12 macam, yaitu:

1. Books, Pamphlets, & Printed Sheets (printed monographs)
   
2. Cartographic Materials

5. Sound Recordings
6. Motion Pictures and Videorecordings
7. Graphic Materials
8. Electronic Resources
9. Three-Dimensional Artefacts and Realia
10. Microforms
11. Continuing Resources
12. Analysis

Dalam aturan umum deskripsi (general rules of deskription) sebuah wakil dokumen harus memuat 8 daerah cantuman, yaitu daerah:

1. Title & statment of responsibility
   
2. Edition
   
3. Material (or type of publication) specific details
   
4. Pubication, distribution, etc.
5. Physical description
6. Series
7. Note
8. Standard number and terms of availability

Dari delapan daerah deskripsi tersebut tidak semua jenis dokumen dibuatkan deskripsinya. Daerah (3) Material (or type of publication) specific details hanya diperlukan pada dokumen jenis electronic resources, dan sebagai pilihan pada dokumen karya music.
