Examine some of the most recent developments in bibliographic
control! Electronic Cataloging: AACR2 and Metadata for Serials and
Monographs is a collection of papers about recent developments in
metadata and its practical applications in cataloging. Acknowledged
experts examine a wide variety of techniques for managing serials
and monographs using standards and schemas like MARC, AACR2, ISSN,
ISBD, and Dublin Core. From the broadest introduction of metadata
usage to the revisions of AACR2 through 2000, this book offers
vital analysis and strategy for achieving Universal Bibliographic
Control. Electronic Cataloging is divided into three parts. The
first is an introduction to metadata, what it is, and its
relationship to the library in general. The second portion focuses
in more on how metadata can be utilized by a library system and the
possibilities in the near future. The third portion is very
specific, dealing with individual standards of metadata and
elements, such as AACR2 and MARC, as well as current policies and
prospects for the future. Information covered in Electronic
Cataloging includes: an overview of metadata and why it is
important to the cataloging community Universal Bibliographic
Control: what has succeeded so far in cataloging and how metadata
will evolve the step-by-step process for creating an effective
metadata repository for the community the inherent problems that
accompany cataloging nonprint research materials, such as

undertaking of three pioneers in library sciences: Sheila S.

and Related Cartographic Materials: Cataloging, Classification, and
Bibliographic Control (Haworth, 2000). With illustrations,

research tool offers you tips and strategies to make metadata work
for you and your library. No one currently involved in information
