Description

Designed to assist library school students, copy catalogers, and paraprofessionals in learning the principles and practices of modern cataloging, these three volumes provide a variety of exercises of MARC cataloging, Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR), authority control, subject headings (LCSH and Sears List of Subject Headings), classification (Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal), and nonbook cataloging (computer files, sound recordings, video recordings, maps, and kits). The series covers both general cataloging information and specific MARC tags; series entries; the use of such tools as Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings, LCSH, AACR2r, and Sears List of Subject Headings. It also addresses construction of MARC authority records and MARC bibliographic records, and the detection and correction of cataloging errors. Intended to be used as supplementary materials by students, rather than as primary textbooks, the books will also benefit library professionals and paraprofessionals who wish to practice their skills and apply what they have learned elsewhere.

Reviews

"Any cataloging department will find it a useful resource."
"For students of cataloging, for new catalogers, for possible training of skilled paraprofessionals--or for those who just want review in the basics--[this] workbook will be highly useful ... Recommended."
