retrieved.
Added entry
Personal name, corporate name, title, or series entry in a bibliographic record that is in addition to the main entry
Authority control
The cataloging function of providing established
headings as access points in bibliographic records and linking those headings
to authority records that display, with appropriate references, in the OPAC.
Authority record
MARC record that contain the decision for an
established heading, sometimes with references. Authority records are
created for names, subjects, uniform titles and series.
Bibliographic (bib) record

form or machine readable form (MARC).
Bibliographic record number

Call number
Classification number (usually from LCC or DDC) plus author notation (Cutter number) and/or date.
Cataloging (Descriptive cataloging)
Creating the bases of a
bibliographic record by describing an item using AACR2R rules; includes
transcription of title and statement of responsibility, publication information

CIP- Cataloging-in-Publication
A Library of Congress publisher program
that provides bibliographic records on the t.p. verso of published books. Cataloging is done from galley proofs or electronic files sent to the Library of Congress by the publisher. Some publishers do their own cataloging
which is published in their books, but it is not cataloging sanctioned by the Library of Congress.
Classification
