"Cataloguing is a very important process in a library management system. All books are need to be classified, and catalogued as per the needs and demands of the subject. This is a very complicated process which follows very rigid rules and various complicated conventions. For the benefit of librarians this book is entirely devoted to the subject of cataloguing.
Besides this, the book has more than a hundred specimen cards used for cataloguing in the libraries. Modern day librarians will find the book useful and will certainly find a few or more practices suitable for their libraries. This book is also meant for the students studying library and information science." (jacket)
