"The fourth edition of the late Lois Mai Chan's classic Cataloging and Classification covers the analysis and representation of methods used in describing, organizing, and providing access to resources made available in or through libraries. Since the last edition published in 2007, there have been dramatic changes in cataloging systems, the most notable being the shift from AACR2 to Resource Description and Access (RDA) as the new standard developed by the Library of Congress. With the help of Athena Salaba, this text is modified throughout to conform to this new standard"--

Work Description

"This third edition of Lois Mai Chan's Cataloging and Classification covers the analysis and representation of methods used in describing, organizing, and providing access to resources made available in or through libraries, including both materials owned by the library (mostly physical items such as books, journals, and nonprint sources) and external electronic resources accessible through the library's portal. Chan emphasizes the standards for bibliographic control widely adopted in the library field, reports on recent developments in the retrieval arena, and discusses a number of popular metadata schemas in order to provide an overview of the library cataloging and classification field."--Jacket.
