In AACR2, the bibliographic record representing an item in the catalog includes the following standard areas of description: title and statement of responsibility (author, editor, composer, etc.), edition, material specific details, details of publication and distribution, physical description, series, notes, and standard number and terms of availability (ISBN, ISSN, price).

In AACR2, the title proper is entered in the title and statement of responsibility area of the bibliographic description (field 245 of the MARC record).
