Reviews

Impressively well constructed, organized, profusely illustrated and presented, Unlocking the Mysteries of Cataloging: A Workbook of Examples is very highly recommended for academic Library Science reference collections, curriculum supplements, and supplemental studies reading lists.
*Midwest Book Review*

I highly recommend this book to cataloging instructors and students who never seem to have enough examples and practice exercises, and to selectors for libraries that support library science curricula. It also makes an excellent resource for copy catalogers who are trying to understand the changes they are seeing in catalog records.
