Publisher description
Providing the first practical overview of how cartographic resources will be cataloged using the brand new standard of RDA, this definitive guide will make for a smooth transition from AACR. It clearly outlines the similarities and differences between the two and points out new or omitted rules to be aware of offering a comprehensive guide that can be used on a daily basis. Concentrating on geographic subject headings and subdivisions that are used in every bibliographic record for cartographic resources, it pinpoints the essential information that map catalogers need to know and peppers the narrative with examples to demonstrate the concepts in practice. An appendix of extended examples will contain full bibliographic records which in many cases include images of the maps they describe. The internationally renowned author team will also answer common problems and queries making this the go-to resource for every map cataloger getting to grips with RDA. This is designed to be the standard text for practising map cataloguers and for those new to map cataloging in any institution that holds cartographic resources including academic, public and special libraries, archives and cultural heritage institutions. It's also invaluable for students of library and information science, archives and cultural heritage that are taking cataloging modules
