The field's foremost authority on the organization of information does it again! The latest edition of this classic work incorporates changes, both great and small, in the world of cataloging and classification since the turn of the century. Annotation. In the latest edition of this classic work, Arlene Taylor once again offers a complete, up-to-date, and practical guide to the world of cataloging and classification. Since the publication of the ninth and ninth revised editions (2000 and 2004), changes have occurred in almost all areas of the organization of information in general, as well as in cataloging and classification. The tenth edition incorporates the 2002 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2), MARC 21, the 22nd edition of Dewey Decimal Classification, current schedules of the LC Classifications, the latest Library of Congress Subject Headings, and the 18th edition of the Sears List of Subject Headings. The bibliography and glossary have also been substantially reworked. In fact, only the appendix, which covers arrangement dilemmas and filing rules, remains unchanged. In addition, Taylor addresses such vital issues as FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology), and the Semantic Web.… (more)

Used before online cataloguing for teaching cataloguing rules

Complete book on cataloging and classification. Arlene Taylor is professor emerita, School of Information Sciences, University of Pittsburg, author of several works, ALA Highsmith Literature Award; ALA's Margaret Mann Citation in Cataloging and Classification. Use as reference source.

This book is good in that it is technically correct, and it provides a ton of information on cataloguing. However, it is not very accessible! I suppose it is an introduction to the topic, but the writing is extremely dry and rarely engages the reader. Even technical writing like this should have a little life! ( )

Dr. Taylor is obviously a highly intelligent woman who is well known and respected in her field. However, she seems (to me at least) to belong to that class of people who are brilliant yet unable to explain their field to others. I found this book very dull and technical, even though I don't think cataloging is necessarily a dull and technical occupation. It seems to me that although this book is meant to be an introduction, you need to have at least a minimal background in cataloging in order to understand the text. Dr. Taylor's discussion of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR), for example, was much more confusing to me than just reading AACR itself. Overall, I found this book difficult to read and not particularly useful. ( )

This is the main text for class, which is also well done. May be worth holding on to. ( )
