"In the field of study and teaching of library and information science, two codes are prescribed for cataloguing practice in all the Indian Universities, they are AACR-II and CCC. The present book, Practical Cataloguing AACR-2 is meant to help the readers prepare various types of entries of the book according to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules-2.

The book simplifies the preparation of entries of various types of books, ranging from simple titles, single to multi-volume or composite books with the help of illustrative examples which help the reader grasp the basic rules of the cataloguing code.

It is hoped that this text oriented book shall be of immense help to the students pursuing B.Lib.Sc. or M.Lib.Sc. courses."
