CDs. DVDs. MP3s. Streaming videos. Electronic books. Web resources. Remote access electronic serials. These are but a few of the resources driving an increasing percentage of library user interests, influencing library collection development, and placing increased demands on the library cataloger's skill set. This definitive guide to performing descriptive cataloging and subject analysis on audiovisual and multimedia resources reflects the 2002 revision of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules and its 2004 update, the latest version of the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations, and the CONSER Module 31. Basic topics include the principles of organization, the cataloging process, sound recordings, video recordings and electronic resources, resource integration, remote access electronic serials, and the challenges of organizing information in a digital environment. The five materials chapters consist of an introduction to the format--followed by a discussion, with examples, of current standards for descriptive cataloging, choice of access points, and subject analysis--and concludes with analyses of 10 bibliographic records. Designed for either self-study or classroom use, here is a guide no 21st-century library can afford to be without.

Linda Lael was born in 1949 in Washington. Her father was a town marshal, although he, along with her uncle Jake Jiggs Lael also competed on the rodeo circuit.[1] A voracious reader, Linda began writing her own stories when she was 10.[2] As a child, Linda often visited with an elderly neighbor and listened to stories of her neighbor's experiences meeting outlaw Jesse James and witnessing a gunfight involving the Dalton Brothers.[1] Lael graduated from high school in Northport, WA but did not attend college.[2] After her marriage, Miller spent 10 years living in Spokane before moving away. She has lived in Italy and in London. After five years living in Arizona, Miller moved back to Washington in 2006.[1]

Miller has established a foundation, the Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women. These scholarships are intended to allow women who are struggling to further their education, either through a trade school or a traditional college or university. The scholarships are funded by the fees Miller commands at speaking engagements, and winners are allowed to spend the proceeds on any expense (including childcare and transportation) that will allow her to attend school
