Booklist Review

Made all the more vital by the new importance of shared cataloging and the growing role of networks, this long-awaited volume integrates the complete text of AACR2 1978 with the changes made since 1978 by the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR. The rules for nonprint formats and materials, the wider coverage of materials for the visually handicapped, and the addition of more examples should help catalogers in all types of libraries clarify the procedures and understand the philosophy of descriptive cataloging. Revised appendixes and glossary; index. JB.
