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.
