Description: A one-stop reference that is the outcome of more than eight years of workshops, this best-seller is completely updated with LC and AACR2 changes through 1998 and is a superb resource for catalogers who are seeking information about rules, interpretations, and the MARC coding standards. Linking the AACR2 cataloging rules with the MARC tag/subfield codes has been the primary challenge of catalogers who usually work online. Organized in a format similar to that of AACR2, these pages provide searching hints and match criteria, the relationship between fields in the cataloging record, ISBD punctuation, and much more. Shrink-wrapped, loose-leaf, three-hole punched, and ready for your binder for easy desktop use.
Notes: Includes index.
