Cataloguing and Classification

The overall scope of this book is to introduce the reader to descriptive cataloguing, classification and subject access, which deal with the description of the physical and the intellectual properties of library holdings. The book presents the prac tices of bibliographic control and focuses on cataloguing and classification codes and discusses their evolution and technical details. The different structures of library cat alogues and the principles they are based on are also analysed. With step-by-step real-world examples and practice material the book provides a practical perspective on the topics discussed. Thus, although primarily a textbook, it serves also as a workbook. This makes it ideal for students of library and information science and for practitioners who wish to acquire or strengthen practical skills in cataloguing and classification. Web references are included at the end of each chapter to help the reader to locate additional information.
