Essential cataloguing

"This book covers descriptive cataloguing, and is designed as a simple companion to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (revised 2002 edition). The author believes that most items can be catalogued using comparatively few of the rules, and that the more abstruse rules can be ignored until you need them. The book therefore concentrates on the basics. Nevertheless, difficulties are not ignored, and the author emphasizes that cataloguing requires judgement and discretion"--Back cover.
