What a surprise to get a review copy of two of the most authoritative catalogers and teachers of cataloging! Their first edition was used for many years as a short guide with exercises along side Wyner’s cataloging textbook. For teacher librarians who don’t need to know everything about cataloging, but recognize that shody work in the OPAC is not serving the needs of users, this quick treatise with great examples and answer keys gives either the beginner or the person wanting a quick refresher a chance to learn from the feet of the best. You can take any chapter, read a short theory of the problem at hand; practice your skills on a few problem books or multimedia items; and, then look up the answer key to see how you did. There are lots of guides to cataloging out there, but this one deserves a place near your desk. Highly recommended.
