As the cataloging universe moves ever deeper into the era of RDA: Resource Description and Access, specialist catalogers need information on managing the materials in their areas of responsibility. In this manual, three expert catalogers offer a summary and overview of how to catalog cartographic resources using the new standard. Through abundant examples and sample records to illustrate the work, the authors

  • Take a close look at what remains familiar from AACR2, and what is new and different in RDA
  • Offer guidance for creating authorized geographic subject headings using Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Resources (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD)
  • Present a detailed examination of geographic subject headings and subdivisions

Designed for both practicing map catalogers and catalogers new to cartographic resources, this volume will be a one-stop resource for all catalogers of cartographic materials looking to understand the differences between cataloging using AACR2 and cataloging using RDA.

"Provides solid guidance for map cataloguers of all levels … clearly written, detailed and easy to use."
— Journal of The Australian and New Zealand Map Society Inc.

"This manual was written by three noted experts—Andrew of Penn State University, Moore of the University of Northern Iowa, and Larsgaard, the longtime guru of map cataloging who is now librarian emeritus of the University of California Santa Barbara—lending it a kind of authority that is hard to match."
— Technicalities

"Both readable and useful. The chapters follow the normal flow of the map cataloging process and offer clear examples and descriptions of rule interpretations. The text, tables, and illustrations explain the process so that a cataloger, whether beginner or expert, can work with confidence ... I believe that this book will become an essential text for map catalogers and for anyone who wants to understand RDA as it pertains to the maps format."
— Technical Services Quarterly
