classification. The book has two nota-
ble chap ters: a chap ter de voted to copy
cataloging with all sources for copy
cataloging (LC, CIP, OCLC, com mer-
cial sources, and the Internet); and a
whole new chap ter on cat aloging on
computers that deals with the MARC
format and copy and orig inal cat alog-
ing on com puters. In the last chap ter,
on is sues and trends, Kao has up dated
the book to discuss outsourcing and
the Dublin Core, two very hot top ics in
the li brary world for the past few
years. I highly recommend this book
to in struc tors and li brary tech ni cians
to be used in tech nical ser vices de part-
ments for train ing and cat aloging.”
