Since publication of the first edition of the Serials Cataloging Handbook, a number of major changes have occurred in the world of serials cataloging, making it more complex than ever. As a result, the definitive guide to cataloging and classifying serials has been completely updated and expanded. This thoroughly revised edition incorporates the changes in serials cataloging resulting from the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition, 1988 revision, along with the 1993 Amendments. Other changes have resulted from the LCR Rule Interpretations (LCRI) as well as enhancements to the USMARC formats, the implementation of Format Integration in 1995 (phase I) and in 1996 (phase II), and from the need to provide access to various types of electronic resources. The Serials Cataloging Handbook, Second Edition merges the new rules and interpretations into a case method and problem-centered approach to discussing situations encountered in actual serials cataloging. This comprehensive revision covers all aspects of current serials cataloging practice and methods, and all of the previous edition's sections have been updated with new examples and problems. Anyone who needs to know the latest rules on serials cataloging and how to apply them everyday, will consider the new Serials Cataloging Handbook a must-have volume.
