This vital book examines the best techniques for cataloging individual nonbook formats including sound recordings, video recordings, three-dimensional objects, kits, and electronic resources. It also takes an incisive look at AV and AV user groups in various types of libraries. In addition, it provides case studies that show how the National Library of Medicine produces, collects, and catalogs nonprint materials; how libraries and organized cataloging groups developed the Chapter 9 descriptive cataloging rules in AACR2; the history, uses, and future of the Thesaurus for Graphic Materials; how the Illinois Fire Service Library improved firefighters' subject access to nonprint fire emergency materials, and much more.
