Description

The most authoritative, popular guide to understanding and using the AACR2R and its "1993 Amendments" is here, just in time to lead you into the new millenium prepared! With thorough across-the-board revisions that reflect all of the important changes in the 1993 Amendments and the MARC revolution, this essential revision to ALA Editions' cataloguing classic follows the easy-to-use, practical format of the previous edition and is packed with hundreds of examples that fully explain the cataloguing rules to veteran and student cataloguers alike. "Maxwell's Handbood for AACR2R" also features: all examples in the commonly-used MARC format; a brand new chapter on manuscripts and archives that corresponds to the AACR2R and its amendments; and complete revisions that bring every chapter example and instruction up-to-date. Written by two of the most respected professionals in the field, this new revision is just as vital to efficient, accurate cataloguing as the AACR2R itself.
