This fifth edition of the late Lois Mai Chan's classic Cataloging
and Classification covers the analysis and representation of
methods used in describing, organizing, and providing access to
resources made available in or through libraries. Coauthor Athena
Salaba, who coauthored the fourth edition also revised this new
edition. The most notable changes since the last edition, published
in 2016, include an introduction to the IFLA Library Reference
Model (LRM), updated text and examples to reflect the new Resource
Description and Access (RDA) guidelines, a discussion on BIBFRAME,
cataloging ethics, and other processes within the broader context
of cataloging. Retaining the overall outline of the previous
edition, this text presents the essence of library cataloging and
classification in terms of three basic functions: descriptive
cataloging, subject access, and classification. Within this
framework, all chapters have been rewritten to incorporate the
changes that have occurred during the interval between the third
and fourth editions. In each part, the historical development and
underlying principles of the retrieval mechanism at issue are
treated first, because these are considered essential to an
understanding of cataloging and classification. Discussion and
examples of provisions in the standards and tools are then
presented in order to illustrate the operations covered in each
chapter. Divided into six parts—a general overview; record
production and structure, encoding formats, and metadata records;
RDA; subject access and controlled vocabularies; the organization
of library resources; and the broader context of cataloging and
classification—each part of the book begins with a list of the
standards and tools used in the preparation and processing of that
part of the cataloging record covered, followed by suggested
background readings selected to help the reader gain an overview of
the subject to be presented. This book is the standard text for the
teaching and understanding of cataloging and classification. Its
accompanying materials make it a true multimedia learning tool.
