Book Overview: Today's cataloguers need to be well-versed in various media and be able to contend with the pace and scope of changing technology. The ways in which library users now search for and approach information are dramatically different from what the majority of the current cataloging population was taught. As a result, many catalogers need guidance in adapting their established practices.
