New Edition of Cataloging and Classification Published

UK library school professor Lois Mai Chan has taught many of you the fundamentals of cataloging and classification. She has been the editor of the primary textbook in this field for many years. Her international reputation and expertise is well known. The 3rd edition of her classic work, Cataloging and Classification: An Introduction, was published in 2007. That new edition was reviewed in the February 15, 2008 Library Journal.

“It has been well over a decade since Chan last revised her beginning cataloging textbook. The new, third edition retains the advantages of the second … and adds even more thorough, detailed discussion and illustration of every aspect of current cataloging and classification practice. … Highly recommended for library schools and professional catalogers.”

The review is more extensive than I’ve included here but speaks in detail about how excellent this new revision is. Congratulations to Dr. Chan and to all who have benefited from her teaching – at UK and beyond.
