Written with all the library jargon defined and explained, this guide to cataloging contains a wealth of information and practical guidance.... This text would be useful to students in library school or new catalogers in current practice. It would also be helpful to experienced catalogers to bring them up to date or to librarians in settings where they must do their own cataloging from time to time.
