of Cataloging (FOC) begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in
finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. These
foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating
bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing
content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and
authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress
Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging
to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to
the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME.
In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a
heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content.</span></p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">2023
