4.0 out of 5 stars A must for cataloging. However..., June 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Subject Headings for School and Public Libraries: An LCSH/Sears Companion (Hardcover)
...there's a new edition coming out in January, I believe. This book is almost indispensable for cataloging; this, plus access to the Library of Congress Authority Files and MARC bibliographic references online are pretty much all you need in the school library.
