A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

AACR2 cataloguing of library materials

AACR2 (Anglo‑American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition) provides the standard framework for creating bibliographic records of library materials. Mastering its core principles—such as the order of headings, treatment of title and author, and the use of uniform titles—ensures accurate, consistent cataloguing that meets NUC, CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE requirements.
