Reviews

[Lord Casci · Rating 3 out of 5]

Come inizio per studiare la disciplina della catalogazione è interessante.
Anche se è un breve saggio, tenta di spiegare in modo breve ma efficace come funziona la catalogazione all’interno dei vari enti, come biblioteche e archivi.

The readily reference volume is accessible to librarians and lovers of cataloguing, it gives the idea for a “reading” of the electronic catalogue (the acronym of which is OPAC) by considering both the structure and the bibliographic information. The subject of the book is evidently the catalogue: intended as a documentary language, such as repository of information and as a bibliographic guide; written in a clear scientific language and rich of prospectuses.
