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.

The purpose of authority control is to ensure consistency in
representing a value - a name of a person, a place name, or a term
or code representing a subject - in the elements used as access
points in information retrieval. The primary purpose of this study
is to produce a framework that will provide a clearly stated and
commonly shared understanding of what the subject authority
data/record/file aims to provide information about, and the
expectation of what such data should achieve in terms of answering
user needs.
This book is ideal for anyone who aims to obtain an overview of the
current status of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
(FRBR) development. It helps identify the key FRBR issues that need
to be addressed and investigates the future directions of FRBR
development. Implementing FRBR in Libraries: Key Issues and Future
Directions is the first book to address the theory and
implementation of FRBR in a unified discussion. Authors Yin Zhang
and Athena Salaba, winners of the 2009 ALISE/Bohdan S. Wynar
Research Paper Competition Award,"" give readers a clear framework
for understanding FRBR's current and potential implications on
library catalogs. They provide a thorough introduction to the
history of FRBR and its possible benefits, a detailed description
of the FRBR model and its components, and a discussion of its
practical influence in transforming description standards,
cataloging and metadata practices. The book includes examples of
how professionals are successfully applying FRBR in real-life
library settings, and explores various methods for effectively
implementing the FRBR model. Each chapter includes illustrations to
help reinforce fundamental concepts. The book contains a
comprehensive appendix of key terms and acronyms to aid readers new
to the field and a list of projects and software to showcase
practical FRBR applications. Library catalogers, indexers, metadata
creators, reference librarians, researchers, and LIS educators and
students who need to know, or know more about, FRBR will find this
refreshingly straightforward book invaluable.
The fourth 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. Since the last
edition published in 2007, there have been dramatic changes in
cataloging systems from the Library of Congress. The most notable
being the shift from AACR2 to Resource Description and Access (RDA)
as the new standard developed by the Library of Congress. With the
help of the coauthor, Athena Salaba, this text is modified
throughout to conform to the new standard. 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

The first comprehensive exploration of the development and use of
the International Federation of Library Associations and
Institutions' (IFLA) newly released model for subject authority
data, covering everything from the rationale for creating the model
to practical steps for implementing it. FRSAD: Conceptual Modeling
of Aboutness explores the full dimensions of the IFLA's Functional
Requirements for Subject Authority Data model, showing how putting
the model to work can ease information sharing across systems,
domains, and environments. Written by three leading members of the
IFLA working group that developed the model, FRSAD moves from the
theoretical foundations of knowledge organization to a complete
conceptual overview of the model, to specific working guidelines
for its implementation. The book is filled with insights into the
factors driving the model's development, as well as numerous
illustrative examples of its practical applications in real-world
settings. It also focuses on the benefits of using the model when
developing knowledge organization systems (KOS) within the library
domain and beyond.
