Covering tools, terminology, and the FRBR-based RDA approach to
description, this book explains the current principles of
organization of information and basic cataloging practices for
non-catalogers, enabling readers to understand elements of the
cataloging process and interact with records in a basic manner.
Organization of information and cataloging is often the most
daunting task for library technicians and non-catalogers working in
the library. New RDA cataloging rules can be baffling for even the
more seasoned catalogers. Written by two authors with 20 years'
combined experience in cataloging instruction, Crash Course in
Basic Cataloging with RDA approaches current principles of
organization of information and cataloging practices from a basic
standpoint for non-catalogers. It makes a complex topic easy to
understand and a complicated practice doable for those without the
proper training and necessary experience. The book gives readers a
basic understanding of organization of information and cataloging
practice, explaining how records are created and the approaches to
different formats of information in libraries, including MARC
records and encoding RDA cataloging records; offering assistance in
applying RDA; identifying the cataloger's tools; and providing
non-technical explanations for the tasks that today's catalogers
do. It contains an introduction, a bibliography/webliography, and
three appendices of additional resources (Cataloging Tools,
Resources for Catalogers, and Sample Catalog Records). Provides an
easy-to-follow, basic understanding of organization of library
information and cataloging practice that explains how records are
created and offers assistance in applying RDA Offers valuable
insight for non-catalogers (and even non-librarians) into the
practices and tools used in organization of information and
cataloging by documenting the work that catalogers are now doing
Explains the approaches to organizing different formats of
materials in libraries and accounts for the effects of RDA on
current cataloging practices
Libraries that take advantage of the cloud have fewer IT headaches
because data centers provide continuous updates and mobility that
standard computing cannot easily provide, which means less time and
energy spent on software, and more time and energy to devote to the
library's day to day mission and services. Here, leading LITA
experts demystify language, deflate hype, and provide
library-specific examples of real-world success you can emulate to
guarantee efficiency and savings. Among several features, this book
helps you select data access and file sharing services, build
digital repositories, and utilize other cloud computing
applications in your library. Together, you and the cloud can save
time and money, and build the information destination your patrons
will love.
