Customer Reviews

The Concise AACR2 / Michael Gorman. - 4th ed. -

This book is well written and easy to follow. There is plenty of room to add your own notes, and high-light text for exam purposes. I live in Australia and was impressed by the speed of the shipping, two weeks earlier than expected.

Cataloging rules in plain language

Michael Gorman, one of the primary writers of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Revision, has summarized the rules in simple English so they can be used by relatively untrained personnel in small, uncomplicated catalogs. The cataloging described in Concise AACR2 is compatable with the larger work and will allow users to grow into more complex cataloging when their skill increases.
