Overview

Pinpoints problem areas that can arise in library cataloguing Supplementing existing textbooks with exercises that allow practice in description, classification, subject analysis, and MARC21(Machine-Readable Cataloguing), this workbook pinpoints problem areas that arise in the cataloguing of a wide variety of materials in public, school, special and academic library settings. Real title-pages and other necessary materials are used throughout. AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules) numbers are included, as well as questions for consideration. MARC records are provided for some 150 titles, and a supplemental website provides full keys and further details. The site also aids teachers by providing indexes beyond those in the book. This book will appeal to all serious cataloguing students as necessary practice for sharpening their skills, as well as to beginning cataloguers in the large library environment. It will be a valuable addition as individual study material and for in-house training of cataloguers. Part of the Library and Information Science Text Series

Reviews

?This book of cataloging examples is best suited for, and was intended as a supplement for, a textbook in a cataloging course. Examples are an invaluable source for teaching library science students how to catalog different sources. The cataloging course I took in graduate school had a similar workbook of examples gathered from the professor's everyday work in a large public library. This book would have saved my professor several hours of compiling, reviewing, and copying that information for class each semester.?-Reference & User Services Quarterly
