Completely updated, with a new section on using the computer in the cataloging function, this new edition of a classic will be a welcome tool for the volunteer or paraprofessional in a small library. Covering the essentials in clear nontechnical language, Hoffman explains the how and why of arranging publications, the principles of cataloging (including description, main and added entries, analytics, the shelf list, cross references, and filing), and online records. Nearly 100 examples illustrate the cataloging practice. Why do you need a shelf list? What is an authority file? Easy to understand and practical, this gem illuminates the world of monographs, series, irregular serials, uniform titles, simple and complex subject headings, tracings, and location codes. Even the world of the small library is startlingly complex-Hoffman's guide will simplify it. Reviews of previous editions: "Hoffman's guide to simplified cataloging practice will be a great help...this handbook lays out the options of collection organization clearly and in everyday language." -Booklist "Because of its emphasis on fundamentals, rigorous reasoning, and its readable style, the book is also helpful for library school students as well as for practicing librarians." -Reference & Research Book News "...will provide its intended reader, the nonprofessional or volunteer in charge of a small library, with solid, well-organized information necessary to catalog a collection systematically."

Throughout the United States' history, West Point graduates have and continue to play a central leadership role in both the military and business worlds. Although West Point has and continues to be a major development source of our nation's leaders, very little literature exists today that attempts to understand West Point's curriculum impact on the guiding leadership principles of its graduates. With its high entrance requirements, West Point's student body continues to be largely white male while moral and ethical leadership development has and continues to be its primary student development mission. In recognizing that today's volunteer Army is multiracial and that Army "leadership must weld together soldiers of mixed race, ethnic background, and sex into effective collaborative units" (Bass & Avolio, 2000, p. 2), the purpose of this study was to determine: What are the guiding leadership principles of West Point graduates? How has West Point's overall curriculum impacted the guiding leadership principles of its graduates? How do West Point graduates interpret and carry out the values instilled by West Point's curriculum?
