Summary:

"For application of the most current Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, there is but one standard: Maxwell's Handbook for AACR2. This practical and authoritative cataloging how-to has now been completely revised inclusive of the 2003 update to AACR2. Designed to interpret and explain AACR2, Maxwell's Handbook for AACR2 illustrates and applies the latest cataloging rules to the MARC record for every type of information format. Focusing on the concept of integrating resources, where relevant information may be available in different formats, the revised edition also addresses the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) and the cataloging needs of electronic books and digital reproductions of physical items such as books and maps. Extensive updates have resulted in completely revised chapters covering cartographic materials, electronic resources, and continuing resources (formerly called serials). From books and pamphlets to sound recordings, music, manuscripts, maps, and more, Maxwell's Handbook for AACR2 is the most comprehensive and straightforward guide to interpreting and applying standard cataloging rules. Illustrated with more than 490 figures showing actual MARC catalog records, this latest edition is the essential AACR2 guide for catalogers, LIS students, and cataloging instructors"--Page 4 of cover.
