This Book Grew On Me as the Class Progressed

This was a required book for a graduate cataloging course. At first I was very overwhelmed by the book but as time went on, I appreciated having it as a resource. The book is heavy on examples but there is not a lot of text that tells you HOW to catalog. However, the AACR2 book, the information from the professor and various online resources like MARC21 and OCLC web sites filled that gap. The various types of examples illustrated are what makes this book a winner.

Must have for learning Cataloging

This book is informative. It gives many examples on how to catalog records with details. It comes with a Power Point disc that goes along with book and that is very helpful. It also has the Cutter Table and explains it. The books gives details about Library of Congress and Dewey cataloging.

Cataloging made understandable!
