Intner, and Jerry D. Saye, this comprehensive collection examines education for students and working librarians in cataloging and bibliographic control, emphasizing history, context, the state of the art at present, and suggested future directions. A liberal dose of visual aidscharts, tables, etc.makes accessing the information quick and easy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the editor:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe education of catalogers has swung pendulum-like from on-the-job training to graduate education and back again. The place of cataloging in the library school curriculum has swung from one of near pre-eminence to one of near extinction, and has begun to swing back again. The durability of education for cataloging has swung from 'In getting your degree you will learn everything you need to know in your career,' to 'You will have to engage in continuing education throughout your career, beginning virtually as soon as you have your degree.' Making informed decisions about how (and how much) cataloging education is to be provided is full of pitfalls, some of which the profession has fallen into already. What is needed now is a reconsideration of how education for cataloging and bibliographic control is provided.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Education for Cataloging and the Organization of Information: Pitfalls and the Pendulum addresses four main areas: the ways professionals perceive the place, nature, and necessity of cataloging education; the professional, demographic, and academic context within which cataloging education is provided; education regarding special types of materials and special aspects of cataloging; and alternatives to traditional modes of education for cataloging, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e distance education \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e online mentoring \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Web-based instruction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e continuing education \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e training for (and via) cooperative projects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the role of the community of catalogers in the continuing education of those who provide intellectual access to the world of information \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e and much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261731656024,"sku":"9780789020284","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780789020284.jpg?v=1779171352","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/education-for-cataloging-and-the-organization-of-information-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
