Library Journal Review

It has been well over a decade since Chan last revised her beginning cataloging textbook (McGraw-Hill, 1994). The new, third edition retains the advantages of the second-clear and understandable language, step-by-step explanations of complex concepts, excellent examples, and good coverage-and adds even more thorough, detailed discussions and illustration of every aspect of current cataloging and classification practice. More than any other textbook of its kind, Chan's volume also offers the best integration of MARC encoding into the presentation of each descriptive and subject cataloging element. Newer markup languages are also described and illustrated in similar detail. Each of the textbook's six parts (Introduction, Description, Access and Authority Control, Subject Access and Controlled Vocabularies, Organization of Library Resources, and Encoding Formats and Production of Cataloging and Metadata Records) begins with valuable bibliographies of standards and tools along with resources for the activities covered; most chapters also include extensive notes. Highly recommended for library schools and professional catalogers.-Sheila S. Intner, Emerita, Simmons GSLIS at Mt. Holyoke Coll., So. Hadley, MA (c) Copyright 2010.
