AbstractSummary <P>This book is a handy and authoritative guide to the principles of cataloguing for librarians, information scientists and information managers. It is intended to be used in conjunction with an internationally recognised standard to show how, firstly, cataloguing underpins all the other activities of an information service and, secondly, how to apply best practice in a variety of different situations. <P>Key Features <BR> * It relates theory to practice, which is not the case with many other books on the topic <BR>* It includes guidance on subject cataloguing as well as descriptive cataloguing <BR>* Is written in an easy-to-read style <BR>* Covers the use of ISBD and Dublin Core in descriptive cataloguing, rather than being tied exclusively to using AACR <BR>* The book also covers the principles of subject cataloguing, a topic which most non-librarians believe to be an integral part of cataloguing <BR>* Not only does the book describe the hows of cataloguing but goes a stage further by explaining why one might want to catalogue a particular item in a certain way <P>Readership <BR>The book is aimed at librarians and informational professionals responsible for cataloguing materials (of any format) for their information service. Knowledge managers will also find the book of interest.
