N2  - From the impact of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, including amendments, to technology's potential for increasing productivity, you need to keep abreast of the latest changes and the newest innovations; These detailed guides will help you: -- Determine hardware and software needs for technical services workstations-- Accurately catalog material from serials to reproductions to interactive multimedia-- Integrate preservation activities into the acquisition process; Because Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) is the dominant format for the bibliographic cataloging of library materials, Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC is an essential resource for catalogers in libraries of all types and sizes, as well as students and instructors in library and information science programs; MARC is the computerized "language" for coding catalog records. The 1988 revision of AACR2, along with the 1993 Amendments, is the current descriptive cataloging code of rules. Until now, linking the cataloging rules with the MARC tag/subfield codes has been the primary challenge of catalogers who frequently work online. Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC is the fastest and most authoritative guide to cross-referencing the AACR2R rules, MARC tag/subfields, and interpretations for LC rules for each of the major media categories. Major formats include books, serials, videos, sound recordings, and computer files; Organized in a format similar to AACR2R -- according to the various media types -- the book provides searching hints and match criteria, the relationships between fields in the cataloging record, ISBN punctuation, and much more; An experienced cataloger, trainer, and consultant, author Debra A.Fritz has produced a complete and comprehensive reference that's sure to help streamline the intricate process of cataloging
