Theology Cataloging Bulletin Section 3 
Vol. 19, No. 4—August 2011

 John Attig, the ALA representative to the JSC, has requested that ATLA and the Catholic 
Library Association to prepare a proposal to revise the rules for the individual books of the 
Apocrypha.  Currently, the RDA rules are contradictory, directing the books to be entered 
directly under Bible, and in a sub-rule, directing the books to be entered subordinate to the 
Apocrypha.  The Taskforce will consider the issue and will propose a rule revision to remove 
the contradiction.  Anyone wishing to participate in this taskforce's deliberations should 
contact Judy Knop, jknop@atla.com.
