Description
This book addresses RDA along with traditional examples of cataloguing like MARC, MODS, and Dublin Core. Streaming video, Internet sites, dual-disc DVDs, blogs and listservs are just some of the rapidly emerging, and often complicated, new resources covered in this current, easy-to-follow manual. Separate chapters are dedicated to each non-print and e-resource format, and include corresponding examples to help demonstrate practical implementation of these critical new skills. A companion CD-ROM contains fully-worked out examples, models and illustrations, and acts as an important visual guide to help reinforce key concepts. In addition, a companion website provides updates on changes in RDA and other cataloguing resources and practices; links to presentations, blog posts, etc; and a means to contact the authors with questions and feedback. Readership: Cataloguers, LIS students and information professionals and support staff using integrated library systems, searching OCLC, and applying and interpreting Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings.
Reviews / Votes
"...highly recommended for technical services staff struggling with changing cataloguing rules for certain types of nonbook materials." -- Technicalities "A practical guide for using both the old standard (AACR) and the new (RDA: Resource Description and Access). Mary Beth Weber and Fay Angela Austin have prepared a commonsense guide to using the new code." -- American Libraries "This is an up-to-date and handy desk reference for catalogers of electronic, digital cartographic, sound, video, Internet, database, and other mixed media. It's also suitable for non-tech services librarians...With a useful CD-ROM for step-by-step help and a companion website that will be updated as necessary. Recommended." -- Library JournalMore details
