- Summary:
- Since 1989, the Music OCLC Users Group's MOUG Newsletter has published a regular Q&A column featuring music cataloging questions from catalogers in the field and answers supplied by Jay Weitz, MOUG's OCLC liaison and subject matter specialist on music. In this lighthearted and practical compilation, Weitz collects and updates all of the relevant questions and answers that have been featured over the years.
- Topically arranged and carefully indexed, the questions span the range of problems and issues that music catalogers encounter every day in their dealings with scores and sound recordings. The answers are both pragmatic -- with specific references to the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations, the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data, and OCLC's "Bibliographic Formats and Standards" -- and entertaining to read.
