Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book of cataloging examples is best suited for, and was intended as a supplement for, a textbook in a cataloging course. Examples are an invaluable source for teaching library science students how to catalog different sources. The cataloging course I took in graduate school had a similar workbook of examples gathered from the professor's everyday work in a large public library. This book would have saved my professor several hours of compiling, reviewing, and copying that information for class each semester."

4.0 out of 5 stars
catalogue this!,
By Cynic (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unlocking the Mysteries of Cataloging: A Workbook of Examples (Library & Information Science Text Series) (Paperback)
This cataloguing (so sue me, I'm Canadian, that's how we spell it) workbook contains a couple of hundred exercises for people studying library cataloguing. A wide range of mostly good examples, some of which are well known, with a bonus of AACR2 references applicable for each entry. The book suffers from some typos, which are anathema in this field, and a hefty price tag for what is essentially a book of lists. However, if you have to have it you're caught in the textbook trap anyway.

This review is from: Unlocking the Mysteries of Cataloging: A Workbook of Examples (Library & Information Science Text Series) (Paperback)
I ordered this book for a library science course, but the university provided the books for all students, so it wasn't needed. The black and white photos were difficult to read with fuzzy images and very small print. It would be helpful to someone who needed to practice cataloging skills outside the classroom.
