Now thoroughly updated to include recent changes with RDA, this
easy-to-use primer provides an introduction to standardized
cataloging that will benefit library technicians as well as
students in library technician and teacher librarian programs. This
easy-to-use primer provides a complete introduction to current
standard cataloging practice. The simple language, helpful
examples, and clear descriptions of processes and techniques make
it a valuable tool for any beginning cataloger or worker in a
technical services department. Updated with key information about
RDA principles and practices and following the same pragmatic
approach as the first edition, the book empowers students with an
understanding of the core principles and language of cataloging.
Readers will learn how to apply standard descriptive cataloging
rules to assign subject headings and classification numbers and to
create electronic records. The book first examines the
cataloging-in-publication data found on the verso of most books.
Then, chapter by chapter, it explains how this data can be
developed into a full bibliographic record that can be used in an
online public catalog, covering all types of material formats
(books, audiovisuals, images, sound, electronic resources and
more). This guide will also serve as a workbook in formal education
programs or distance education programs and be useful to library
technicians and those working in areas where formal training is
inaccessible. Provides clear and comprehensible explanations of the
rules and tools used by libraries to catalog and classify their
materials Illustrative examples for each aspect of cataloging,
classification, RDA, and MARC computer encoding Covers all types of
material formats, including books, audiovisuals, images, sound,
electronic resources, and more Offers numerous practical exercises
as well as a glossary of cataloging terms and tools
