New from Facet Publishing:
Practical Cataloguing
AACR, RDA and MARC21
Anne Welsh and Sue Batley
This essential new textbook provides cataloguers with the skills needed for transition to Resource Description and Access (RDA).
The book builds on John Bowman’s highly regarded 'Essential Cataloguing' and gives an introduction to Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), which provides the conceptual basis for RDA; discusses the differences between AACR2 and RDA; and shows the current state of play in MARC 21.
Key topics are:
• introduction to catalogues and cataloguing standards
• the FRBRization of the catalogue
• bibliographic elements
• access points and headings
• RDA: the new standard, its development, structure and features
• AACR and RDA: the similarities and differences between the two standards
• the MARC21 record
• bringing it all together
• the birth of RDA and the death of MARC.
