Essential Cataloguing by Jh Bowman
Cataloguing has always been important but hardly any library schools teach it, leaving many students and information professionals to learn on their own. This book covers descriptive cataloguing and is designed as a simple companion to ACR2. The author believes that most items can be dealt with by using comparatively few of the rules, and that many of the more abtruse ones can be ignored until you need them. This book therefore concentrates on the basics. It has a clear, informal approach, with less important aspects set in smaller type, and is fully cross-referenced to ACR2, taking into account the 2002 revisions. Concentrating on the materials most Anglo-American libraries are most likely to meet, it includes MARC21 coding and examples, and is designed for library school students, beginning cataloguers and information professionals who need to revise cataloguing skills."The book is written in an accessible manner providing a useful buffer to the slightly intimidating set of manuals that confront the novice cataloguerBowman is practical in his advice, which acknowledges the sometimes curious constructions that cataloguing sometimes creates. It is a brief introduction that, rightly, attempts to familiarize the reader with the basic principles, without trying to replace the actual manuals themselves."
