From the impact of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, including
amendments, to technology's potential for increasing productivity,
you need to keep abreast of the latest changes and the newest
innovations.
These detailed guides will help you:
-- Determine hardware and software needs for technical services
workstations
-- Accurately catalog material from serials to reproductions to
interactive multimedia
-- Integrate preservation activities into the acquisition
process
When patrons use a library catalog, they seek information
without regard to the library's cataloging technology. It is
crucial then that bibliographic records provide complete, detailed
information on each item no matter what process or media format is
in place.
Creating such an uncomplicated record -- one that can be used
and manipulated by library staff and patrons alike -- is a
continual challenge. Picking up where the last edition (published
in 1991) left off, The Bibliographic Record and Information
Technology is the most comprehensive text on creating clear and
complete bibliographic records.
This fully revised resource includes vital information on
computerized cataloging formats, authority controls, and the most
current practices in creating, formatting, and maintaining
bibliographic records. No one book links the process of developing
the bibliographic record with interactive information technology as
thoroughly as The Bibliographic Record and Information
Technology.
This comprehensive update explains both the why and the how of
creating bibliographic records. It continues as the best training
tool on bibliographic records for current practitioners and future
librarians. This editionincludes: Updates on authority work,
including strategies such as proximity searches, use of fuzzy
logic, and others
-- Summary information on storage and output formats
-- Alphanumeric arrangement in machine-generated files
This edition is completely updated to reflect new trends in
technology and, more specifically, it reflects the quantum leap
away from manual cataloging to machine-assisted cataloging that
transforms bibliographic records into the information "gateways"
they are meant to be.
