Joudrey, Daniel N., Arlene G. Taylor, David P. Miller. Introduction to Cataloging and Classification. 11th Edition. Libraries Unlimited, 2015. ISBN: 978-59884-856-4
Description
This new edition of the classic cataloging textbook provides an introduction to descriptive cataloging based on contemporary standards, explaining the basic tenets to readers without previous experience, as well as to those who merely want a better understanding of the process as it exists today. The text opens with the foundations of cataloging, then moves to specific details and subject matter such as Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), the International Cataloging Principles (ICP), and RDA. The book introduces MARC, BIBFRAME, and other approaches used to communicate and display bibliographic data. Discussions of formatting, presentation, and administrative issues complete the book; questions useful for review and study appear at the end of each chapter.
