Publisher's Synopsis
Foreword by Regina Romano Reynolds Arranged in MARC tag order and by topical subdivision, this work helps experienced and novice serials catalogers describe the complex characteristics and relationships of serial publications and construct clear and concise notes. Thoroughly revised, this edition contains updated definitions, scope notes, and examples of notes presented in the first edition, and it incorporates new notes for electronic serials and notes made available with the implementation of format integration. The authors also make references to pertinent rules in Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (2d ed., 1988 rev.). Valuable as a reference tool for serials catalogers, this book can also be used in cataloging classes.
