141 pages in total.
Written on the back cover "Individuals who run small, rural libraries, often without formal library education, will find this book invaluable in helping them make informed decisions about the organization of their library and the information it holds. This is one of the key tasks in any library. Though many librarians buy all of their items already cataloged, they may still need to catalog an item, change a subject heading, or tape a classification number to a book.
Kaplan explains the tools of the trade. Reading her book, analyzing the examples, and working through the problem sets she provides makes for an exiting introduction to organizing the library. The practice problems will be useful to workshop presenters teaching newly hired librarians, especially those who will be working, often unassisted, in small libraries. The book is also an excellent tool for staff development of paraprofessionals."
I have finished reading the whole book as at (Sat)22-8-2009.
