Reviews

[Caroline Coward]

One of my grad school textbooks, which introduced me to the theory and art of cataloging.

[Jason]

Boring. Boring. But if you are a librarian, it is a must read. Tis the secrets of classification and the voodoo of cataloging. It may even put a hex on you and unleash the dewey demon.

[Sara]

Actually, its the brand new 3rd edition I'm reading. And to be honest, its not for fun, but for school.

[K. Quincey]

A wonderful concise introduction to cataloging methods for both DDC and LOC. A little dated but it does provide early MARC record application.
