     How-To-Do-It Manuals

This how-to covers cataloging nonbook materials more exhaustively than any recent book. Librarians seeking to add Internet resources to their online catalogs will find it especially valuable because its both comprehensive and practical (augmented by a wide range of examples) nature. With the avalanche of brand new resources suddenly pouring into libraries—DVDs, networked electronic resources, Web sites and home pages, databases (including aggregator databases)—it is crucial to provide effective access to them through cataloging. Each chapter discusses one resource type and focuses on the different formats in which it is available. Chapters provide examples, illustrations, and rule interpretations from AACR2R. Includes visual materials, sound recordings, computer files, multimedia materials, microforms, and a wide variety of Internet resources. Ideal for both working catalogers and as a text for cataloging classes and workshops.

Reviews

“Current…her focus on common formats makes this more user-friendly for the average cataloger.” Library Journal

“Works quite well as a reference work.” Business Information Alert

“A handy guide…” Elementary School Library Collection

“Here is a book that will take catalogers, beginners as well as experienced, step-by-step through the cataloging of nonprint materials, including Internet resources….This reviewer would like to recommend this book, not only to librarians and paraprofessionals, but also graduate students in the MLS/MIS program.” Technical Services Quarterly

“Neal-Schuman has a winner with its ‘How-To-Do-It Manuals for Librarians,’ and they just seem to get better and better….Longer and more complete than any I have seen to date…Ms Weber’s explanations are short, but clear, and each point is immediately given a brief illustration, similar to the way examples appear in AACR2….recommended for students aiming to get a grip on descriptive cataloging for the formats it covers.” Technicalities
