"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
