Practical Cataloguing by Anne Welsh

Practical Cataloguing by Anne Welsh

Written at a time of transition in international cataloguing, this book provides cataloguers and students with a background in general cataloguing principles, the code (AACR2) and format (MARC 21) and the new standard (RDA). It provides library managers with an overview of the development of RDA in order to equip them to make the transition.

"Comprehensive, practical, clear, and written with a dash of humour – this is the textbook about AACR2 and RDA for which cataloguers have been waiting"

-- Karen Attar

"A worthy successor to Bowman's Essential Cataloguing. Practical Cataloguing does exactly what it says on the tin: offers a practical, pragmatic approach to the basics of cataloguing in AACR2, RDA and MARC21 with useful sample records for reference."

-- Celine Carty

"...a fine example of the kind of transitional work needed as we move forward with implementation and practical application of RDA."

-- Shawne D. Miksa
