Description

Designed to assist library school students, copy catalogers, and paraprofessionals in learning the principles and practices of modern cataloging, these three volumes provide a variety of exercises on MARC cataloging, Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR), authority control, subject headings (LCSH and Sears List of Subject Headings), classification (Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal), and nonbook cataloging (computer files, sound recordings, video recordings, maps, and kits). The series covers both general cataloging information and specific MARC tags; series entries; the use of such tools as Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings, LCSH, AACR2R, and Sears List of Subject Headings. It also addresses construction of MARC authority records and bibliographic records and the detection and correction of cataloging errors. Intended to be used as supplementary materials (rather than as primary textbooks) by students, the books are a great resource for library professionals and paraprofessionals who
