I took a course in cataloging as part of my pursuit of a library degree, and, while it offered a good foundation for my eventual work in a library, I felt that there was more to learn -- particularly in the realm of working with records in an online catalog. Add in, too, my wish to learn those practices that are especially helpful to children, and it was clear to me that reading this book was essential to my professional development. I consider it an essential addition to my professional shelf.

By Sheila S. Intner Standard Cataloging for School… par Sheila S. Intner

In the case of most school libraries (and some small public libraries) cataloging isn't the priority it was in years past. This type of book offers some interesting explanations for why certain practices are done the way they are done. This is helpful in understanding and facilitating information with students and teachers. More of a true cataloger's tool, this book does offer some concepts about how to categorize elements of information that are helpful regardless of role in the library. Good resource for library science students and anyone who wishes to review how cataloging happens. One of its helpful features has to do with management of a collection. Questions about an interactive/collaborative concept regarding information need to be carefully addressed given current theories of curriculum and learning practices.… (plus d'informations)

Cataloging correctly for kids : an introduction to… par Sheila S. Intner

Do we need extensive cataloging skills any more? Is that crossing a sacrosanct line? In today’s world where OPACs are the rule and most everything has been cataloged so that it becomes a matter of drag and drop, cataloging, in my opinion, is now optional for teacher librarians. That may not be so for credentialing, but we need not learn cataloging to the depth that it has been taught for many years. A cataloging course no days may be a part of a larger tagging, cataloging, searching, and retrieval course and this book is a slim and fairly easy read to understand the basics of organizing physical items. As more and more information goes digital, cataloging in the traditional sense becomes less important but subject and tagging and searching becomes more and more important. In this slim volume, we get chapters on copy cataloging, Dewey, Sears, LC children’s subject headings, cataloging books and nonbook materials, CIP, cataloging for non-English speakers and preliterate children, automation, and vendors of cataloging information. Used in an academic setting, this volume can be one of several texts used or it can be used as a beginner’s guide or a brush up volume that won’t take that much time to read and study. The three authors here are pros. You can’t go wrong.… (plus d'informations)
