Essential Cataloguing

Mystified by main entry? Confused by corporate bodies? Can't tell a description from an access point? Then this is the book for you. Bowman covers descriptive cataloging and has designed this book as a simple companion to AACR2. He concentrates on the basic with a clear and informal approach. This book shows you that most items can be dealt with by using comparatively few of the rules, and that many of the more abstruse ones can be ignored until you need them. It is fully cross-referenced to AACR2 and takes account of latest AACR2 revisions (2002), and concentrates on the materials most Anglo-American libraries are most likely to catalog. Essential for library school students, beginning catalogers — any information professional who finds that they have to catalog and have forgotten how.
