The first significant codes of cataloguing were elaborated at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which were applied as compulsory regulations in some types of libraries or in some geographical areas. Three major trends emerged, which may best be distinguished on the basis of how they file anonymous works. According to the German school of cataloguing, the so-called Prussian Instruction, filing takes place following grammatical-logical considerations, while the Anglo-American cataloguing school prefers mechanical filing, similarly to the rules followed in the new Latin language speaking countries. Their approach was later melted in the Anglo-American type. There were efforts for the harmonisation of the two major approaches already in the first years of the 20th century. The emergence and spread of the MARC project enhanced the standardisation of various cataloguing rules to a great extent.
