Designed to introduce cataloging students, beginning catalogers, copy catalogers, and department administrators to cataloging, classification, and indexing principles, this work offers a solid foundation for standard practices of cataloging and bibliographic control in the United States and Canada. The authors examine pertinent issues regarding bibliographic services, including the computerization of bibliographic systems (both large networks and local systems), and they review the major considerations in decision making about cataloging and classification, shelving, and public catalogs. In addition, this edition incorporates recent cataloging rule changes, MARC format integration changes, and other newly approved material. A new chapter on managing the cataloging department has been added, and the index, bibliography, chapter reading lists, and glossary have been updated and expanded. This is the only book on the subject that covers Canadian cataloging practice.

Standard Cataloging for School and Public Libraries, 3rd Edition

Ideal for library technicians as well as students in library technician and teacher librarian programs, this easy-to-use primer provides an introduction to standardized cataloging.
In Beginning Cataloging, Jean Weihs and Sheila Intner offer a pragmatic approach that combines short instructional explanations with extensive examples and exercises. The reader will learn how to apply standard descriptive cataloging rules to assign subject headings and classification numbers and to create electronic records. The book begins by examining the cataloging-in-publication data found on the verso of most books. Then, chapter-by-chapter, it explains how this data can be developed into a complete bibliographic record that can be used in an online public catalog.
Covering all types of material formats, including books, audiovisuals, images, sound, electronic resources, and more, Beginning Cataloging conveys cataloging principles and practical methods for implementing them, empowering students with an understanding of the language of cataloging. Useful for library technicians and those working in areas where formal training is not accessible, the book can also be used as a workbook in formal education programs or distance education programs.
