Focusing on audiovisual materials that are regularly collected by all types of libraries and the electronic resources that are rapidly being added to library collections, this book guides users in organizing sound recordings, video recordings, computer files, interactive multimedia, and Internet resources. It specifically demonstrates how to perform descriptive cataloging and subject analysis to these items using AACR2r, MARC, LC subject headings, classification schemes, and other guidelines accepted by the cataloging community. Readers will also discover how cataloging practices can be applied to new types of information resources and how cataloging is evolving in a changing information environment. Each chapter is devoted to a particular type of resource and includes ten cataloging records, information on the source items, and explanations of the records that illustrate the treatment of interactive multimedia and Internet resources. The book contains a helpful list of cataloging resources on the Web. In addition, a Web site presents readers with new information on the treatment of audiovisual and electronic resources and provides links to selected cataloging resources. Intended as a guide for students, instructors, trainers, and practitioners interested in cataloging nonprint materials, this book can be used as a textbook or supplementary text for courses in nonprint cataloging, advanced cataloging, and cataloging electronic/Internet resources. Administrators, system designers, automations librarians, and digital access librarians will also find it useful.
