Abstract
This book gives a simple elucidation of most of the concepts developed regarding cataloguing, classification and library automation with suitable illustrations necessary in making the topics understandable. It also makes clear the principles of both practical cataloguing and classification.
Introductory, middle and final chapters integrate needs of library professionals on the concepts of cataloguing and classification using traditional and modern procedures including OPACs and automation in libraries and information centres.
The book has been designed to serve as a teaching text book for library programmes and also as a reference guide for practical cataloguing and classification of information resources. It is therefore, of immense value to students of library science who can use it to gain both theoretical aspects as well as practical skills in processing library materials.
