A textbook for a course in a two-year associate degree or certificate program for library technicians. It interprets and explains the rules and how they should be applied but does not substitute for the reference tools needed to perform cataloguing.

The Concise AACR2, 4th ed.
Michael Gorman

"This new fourth edition provides clear, user-friendly �need to know� guidance for: small libraries that require standard cataloging but don�t need all the details of structure and content of the full text; beginning students who need to learn about cataloging but do not intend to be catalogers; paraprofessionals engaged in copy cataloging; international catalogers who prefer a summary of AACR2 practice" [from alastore.ala.org]

Cataloging Correctly for Kids: An Introduction to the Tools
Edited by Sheila S. Intner, Joanna F. Fountain & Jane E. Gilchrist

Now in its fourth edition, Cataloging Correctly for Kids has become a standard introduction to cataloging children's material. Some chapters assume a familiarity with cataloging practice and show how cataloging for children differs from standard cataloging. The chapter on copy cataloging is worthwhile for any staff doing copy cataloging. The Instructional Media Center has a copy for loan.
