Foundations of Library and Information Science Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a nice primer for anyone considering a profession as a librarian. However, I bought it hoping for an introduction to the theory and design of taxonomies, thesauri, and controlled vocabularies. I was disappointed to find that the emphasis is on standards, ethics, the library as an institution, etc. The title is a bit misleading.

Subject Headings for School and Public Libraries: An LCSH/Sears Companion Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)...there's a new edition coming out in January, I believe. This book is almost indispensable for cataloging; this, plus access to the Library of Congress Authority Files and MARC bibliographic references online are pretty much all you need in the school library.

A first-check source for the most frequently used headings needed in media centers and public libraries, this book has several thousand new and revised entries to assist in applying LCSH and AC headings. Of the approximately 30,000 headings listed, thousands include cross-references. MARC codes are included with ambiguous headings to simplify entering them into computerized catalogs.
