Wynar's Introduction to Cataloging and Classification:

Rating:
Summary: get Cataloging & Classification by Chan instead
Review: The book consists largely of reprints out of the AACR2. These are used as examples but its largely to cover up a almost complete lack of explanatory material.

I'm sorry I purchased this text and everyone else in my class had similar feelings about the book. It explained almost nothing about the cataloging rules nor did it illustrate why certain cataloging decisions had been made in its examples.

Its a good thing the professor is an excellent lecturer or I'd be completely lost.

Summary: Wynar's Introduction to Cataloging and Classification
Review: The textbook by Bohdan S. Waynar was first published in 1964, but has not been revised since 1992, when most library catalogues were still in card form. Taylor (information sciences, U. of Pittsburgh) not only updates it to incorporate innovations of the World Wide Web, computer coding, and other technology, but also revises it to conform to different thinking about classifying and cataloging material. She begins by outlining the realm of bibliographic control and where catalogs fit into it.
