"The professional collections of librarians, students, and
educators would be enhanced by including the 10th edition of this
work. Those who have enjoyed the 9th or previous editions will
appreciate the effort that has gone into updating the 10th edition
to include more discussion about the impact of technology in
cataloging management and the importance of the international view
on cataloging principles and practice. Those for whom the 10th
edition is their first reading of this text will discover the
immense breadth of topics covered within and the careful
presentation of key cataloging concepts that many have come to
expect from the editors." - Library Collections, Aquisitions, &
Technical Services
"This is not a book of cataloging examples. Rather, it is a book to
help new catalogers understand both conceptually and in detail the
profession which they are entering. From the point of view of
someone in the profession, this book contains very useful
information and does an excellent job of presenting the big picture
as well as necessary fundamentals. It offers thorough coverage of
topics needed for understanding of cataloging and classification in
today's libraries. For those who have not read this book, it is
highly recommended. For those who are familiar with the book, the
revisions, additions and overall updating of terminology and
concepts will be appreciated." - Technical Services Quarterly
"[T]his text will be extremely useful for cataloging teachers and
their students. Practicing catalogers may use the text as a
reference or training tool. I highly recommend this text and
reference book for cataloging departments and libraries." -
