Abstract

The latest edition of this standard reference work has grown to 1800 pages listing nearly 23,000 titles. Once again, the material is divided into five sections: subject headings, subject guides, bibliographic guides, title indexes, and illustrator indexes. This arrangement enables the reader to locate books on a particular topic and to determine the subject of a specific book when only the author, illustrator, or title is known. The more than 1200 subject headings are augmented by subheadings and cross references, which is especially useful because this tool is as much for reader's advisory as it is for collection building. Full bibliographic information for each title included is provided in the bibliographic guide, although price and in-print status are not. This is not a problem, however, since reader's advisory use doesn't usually require pricing information, and there are now several electronic means of obtaining such information quickly and easily. As in previous editions, there is an excellent introductory essay titled "Genesis of the English-Language Picture Book," with as many suggested titles for further reading as might be found on a children's literature course syllabus. About the only drawback is the lack of annotations, but had these been added for each title included, the book would rival the Manhattan telephone directory in size. All in all, this remains an essential resource for just about any reference collection.

Abstract

This is an extensively revised and updated version of this standard text on this most complicated of disciplines; the various technical practicalities and operational drawbacks are examined, manuals of practice for the different formats are provided, and the administrative routines and bibliographical possibilities for each medium outlined. Major differences between this and the last editions will be seen. Substantial sections on optical storage systems (videodiscs, CD-ROMs, and so on) have been introduced, and also on remote databases (those on computers at the end of a telephone line, such as BLAISE). The value of bulletin boards will also be introduced. Cataloguing will take account of the latest AACR rules and the various guides now available. The other major change will be to the management section, where the authors address a number of differences that have arisen as a result of new technology; much of the older material has been removed to provide the appropriate space for the new.
