Summary: In a word, horrid.
Comment: The most incomprehensible textbook I've ever had the misfortune to run across.

Rating: 1
Summary: Standard Cataloging
Comment: This is the worst text I have ever read. There's a distinct difference between being difficult to read and understand and being completely uncomprehensible. This book is the latter.

The authors assume that before reading this book the reader has vast knowledge of the subject matter. It is completely inadequate for the beginning cataloger. Even the examples confuse rather than enlighten. The background information and the basic explanations are missing.

I bought this book solely because it was a required text for a introduction to cataloging class. I find it hard to believe that the professor read this book before requiring students purchase it. I would recommend that in the future students band together as a class and demand the professor choose another book.

I would have liked to rate this book as a minus zero.

Rating: 2
Summary: Book Review
Comment: This textbook in my opinion deserves two stars. It was very complex to read and comprehend. The textbook was not understandable. I had to use online resources to understand easy concepts stated in the text. I would not recommend this text to any future media specialist. The author(s) should re-write the whole book and explain cataloging in simple terms.
