good info for catalogers

Bought for a cataloging class but only needed to use a few times. Seems well written and has useful examples.

Helpful textbook but too many typos

This is an assigned textbook for one of my Library & Information Science courses. Overall, I have liked the book so far. I think Hsieh-Yee provides clear explanations of the components of cataloging the resources, and there are lots of real life examples complete with MARC coding and AACR2-compliant data entry. My only complaint with the book is the number of typos. Given that library cataloging requires diligence and great attention to detail, it is frustrating that Hsieh-Yee did not given the same attention to her book. There are (mostly minor) cataloging mistakes in some of the examples. For novice catalogers, these mistakes could be confusing. For advanced catalogers, they are simply frustrating.
