Library Cataloguing Aids - Lynne's WEB "Computerized search engines are no substitute for a well-cataloged library. Library catalogers -- perhaps the least thanked of a seldom thanked profession -- add value to already valuable information. Like indexers, they classify, categorize. In order to fully utilize all the concepts of RDA we will in future be using MARC tags that up until now most of us have never used. For those of you who are having trouble grasping the ‘concept’ of RDA, perhaps seeing the concept translated into marc tags will help make it all seem clear and more understandable. The Library of Congress, Marc Standards Division has published a DRAFT document on the web entitled: “Marc 21 Format 2009 Changes to Accommodate RDA (DRAFT)” The Director for Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Announces the Library of Congress' Decision to Cease Creating Series Authority Records as Part of Library of Congress Cataloging Download a pdf file of the ISBN User's Manual from the International ISBN Agency AMICUS Web MARC coding

Williams This is the final column of the Cataloging 101 series by Sandra Q. Williams. Cataloging Made (Almost) Easy Items find their way into the media center in many ways besides the traditional standard ordering process from vendors.
