Abstract:
As the cataloging universe moves into the era of RDA (Resource Description and Access), specialist catalogers need information on managing the materials in their areas of responsibility. In this manual, three expert catalogers offer a summary and overview of how to catalog cartographic resources using the new standard. Through abundant examples and sample records to illustrate the work, the authors take a close look at what will remain familiar from AACR2, and what is new and different in RDA.
