About the Book

This comprehensive guide explores every major dimension of modern cataloguing practice and provides detailed coverage of both the Anglo American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2R) and the Classified Catalogue Code (CCC). The book presents essential cataloguing rules and regulations in a clear and systematic manner, supported by numerous practical examples for better understanding and application.

Designed to support both traditional manual card catalogue preparation and machine-readable cataloguing formats, the book includes a wide range of sample entries, illustrations, and exercises that help readers develop practical cataloguing skills. The content is structured to make complex cataloguing concepts easier to understand for students and professionals alike.

Written in a simple, accessible, and student-friendly style, this volume is especially useful for undergraduate B.Lib & I.Sc. and postgraduate M.Lib & I.Sc. students. It also serves as a valuable reference for library professionals engaged in teaching, cataloguing, technical processing, and other technical services within libraries and information centres.

Whether readers are beginning to learn the fundamentals of cataloguing or seeking to refine their professional expertise, this book provides the knowledge, guidance, and practical training necessary to master modern cataloguing practices effectively
