This work has been revised and updated to include the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (2nd ed), the Dewey Decimal System Classification (21st ed) and the Library of Congress Classification Schedules.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
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.
