Description: From Library Journal
Continuing in her effort to provide guidance in an area that is infrequently addressed, Kao (Cataloging and Classification for Library Technicians, Professional Media, LJ 11/15/95) has written a general reference for those library technicians and assistants working in the technical services area; it also can be used as a textbook for the Introduction Services course in the two-year Library Technology Program or the one-year Certificate Program. Chapter topics covered include the library organization, library technicians in technical services, computers in technical services, bibliographic utilities and networks, acquisitions, cataloging and classification, government publications, serials, preservation, and trends and issues. The book is well written and easy to digest, with definitions of terminology that are concise and to the point. Each chapter begins with relevant terminology and ends with review questions. A list of suggested readings is included. Since it has been 16 years since a book on this topic was last published (Marty Bloomburg's Introduction to Technical Services for Library Technicians, Libraries Unlimited, 1985), this text is a welcome addition and is highly recommended.
