About the Book

This practical guide introduces readers to CDS/ISIS, one of the most widely used bibliographic database management software systems developed by UNESCO. Popular across India and many countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, CDS/ISIS has been extensively used for managing bibliographic records as well as other structured textual databases such as institutional records, project data, and specialized information systems.

Written as a self-learning manual, the book is designed for students, librarians, and information professionals who have little or no prior experience with the software. It explains, in a clear and user-friendly manner, the procedures involved in creating, managing, and maintaining databases using CDS/ISIS. Step-by-step instructions, practical examples, and easy-to-understand illustrations help readers gain hands-on knowledge of database design, data entry, indexing, retrieval, and database maintenance.

An essential resource for Library and Information Science students, researchers, librarians, and professionals seeking practical expertise in bibliographic database management and library automation.
