With their sixth collaboration, two veteran technical services leaders combine their expertise to update this textbook about standard methods of cataloging and classifying library materials. Weihs (retired, Library Technician Program, Seneca Coll. of Applied Arts & Technology; Introduction to Technical Services) and Intner (retired, LIS, Simmons Coll.; Fundamentals of Technical Services) address the changes to the rules of descriptive cataloging as a result of RDA (Resource Description and Access) supplanting the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. This new edition can also serve as an in-house guide for staff who have not done formal coursework in cataloging or those in need of a reference to current cataloging practice. Cataloging instructors can also consider Lois Chan and Athena Salaba's Cataloging and Classification: An Introduction, 4th ed. or Daniel Joudrey's Introduction to Cataloging and Classification, 11th ed. Thomas Brenndorfer's RDA Essentials is recommended for students and practitioners, with the Society of American Archivists' Describing Archives: A Content Standard as the go-to for those specializing in archival cataloging. VERDICT Solely recommended as a focused orientation to contemporary cataloging.-Betty J. Glass, Univ. of Nevada Lib., Reno © Copyright 2017.

Written by two experienced catalogers, this volume provides an excellent introduction to the practice of cataloging in any library. The work addresses cataloging-in-publication, descriptive cataloging, access points, both Sears and LCSH subject headings, classification, computer coding, and copy cataloging. With the new standards coming out, the information will soon become outdated; however, as an overview to the history and current practices of cataloging, this work cannot be ignored. The simple language, examples, and clear descriptions of processes and techniques make it a valuable tool for any beginning cataloger or worker in a technical-services department.--Marcus, Sara Copyright 2010 Booklist
