Introduction to Cataloging and Classification

Abstract

The whole text has been contained in six parts of twenty four chapters in all. Four appendices, though peripheral, add considerable value to this book. The first two are on the RDA which also occupies the bulk of the core text in chapters’ four to eight of section two. A glossary of more than four hundred terms, both historical and current, used in the book have been lucidly explained in from one sentence to a paragraph. It is useful to understand new and knotty concepts. The fourth appendix is a broadly classified bibliography of more than four hundred bibliographic items, both classic and current. It is a guide to delving deep into any of the topic discussed in the text.
