About This Book

A practical manual presents principles and procedures for systematic library cataloguing, surveying its history and the skills desired in a cataloguer, then offering chapter-by-chapter guidance on forms of catalogue (dictionary, classified, alphabetico-classed) and on entry rules: single and joint authorship, multiple and composite works, illustrations and music, corporate and government publications, foreign and compound names, pseudonyms, first-name and noble or oriental name arrangements. Examples and worked entries illustrate punctuation, headings, cross-references, and indexing conventions aimed at beginners and exam preparation.
