Serials Cataloging Handbook

Since publication of the first edition of the "Serials Cataloging Handbook", a number of major changes have occurred in the world of serials cataloguing, making it more complex than ever. Now, this guide to cataloguing and classifying serials has been completely updated and expanded. This revised edition incorporates the changes in serials cataloguing resulting from the "Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition", 1988 revision, along with the 1993 Amendments. Other changes have resulted from the LCR Rule Interpretations (LCRI) as well as enhancements to the USMARC formats, the implementation of Format Integration in 1995 (phase 1) and in 1996 (phase 2), and from the need to provide access to various types of electronic resources. The "Serials Cataloging Handbook" Second Edition merges the new rules and interpretations into a case method and problem-centred approach to discussing situations encountered in actual serials cataloguing. The comprehensive revision covers all aspects of current serials cataloguing practice and methods, and all of the previous edition's sections have been updated with new examples and problems.
Anyone who needs to know the latest rules on serials cataloguing - and how to apply them everyday - should consider the new "Serials Cataloguing Handbook" a useful volume.
