A new edition of this best-selling textbook reintroduces the topic
of library cataloging from a fresh, modern perspective. Not many
books merit an eleventh edition, but this popular text does. Newly
updated, Introduction to Cataloging and Classification provides an
introduction to descriptive cataloging based on contemporary
standards, explaining the basic tenets to readers without previous
experience, as well as to those who merely want a better
understanding of the process as it exists today. The text opens
with the foundations of cataloging, then moves to specific details
and subject matter such as Functional Requirements for
Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority
Data (FRAD), the International Cataloging Principles (ICP), and
RDA. Unlike other texts, the book doesn't presume a close
familiarity with the MARC bibliographic or authorities formats;
ALA's Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Edition, revised
(AACR2R); or the International Standard Bibliographic Description
(ISBD). Subject access to library materials is covered in
sufficient depth to make the reader comfortable with the principles
and practices of subject cataloging and classification. In
addition, the book introduces MARC, BIBFRAME, and other approaches
used to communicate and display bibliographic data. Discussions of
formatting, presentation, and administrative issues complete the
book; questions useful for review and study appear at the end of
each chapter. Delineates the new cataloging landscape Shares a
principles-based perspective An introductory text for beginners and
intermediate students Emphasizes descriptive and subject
cataloging, as well as format-neutral cataloging Covers new
cataloging rules and RDA
