Because machine readable cataloguing (MARC) is the dominant format for the bibliographic cataloguing of library materials, ""Cataloguing with AACR2 and MARC"" is a useful resource for cataloguers in libraries of all types and sizes, as well as students and instructors in library and information science programmes. MARC is the computerized ""language"" for coding catalogue records. The 1988 revision of AACR2, along with the 1993 Amendments, is the current descriptive cataloguing code of rules. Until now, linking the cataloguing rule with the MARC tag/subfield codes has been the primary challenge of cataloguers who frequently work online. ""Cataloguing with AACR2 and MARC"" is a guide to cross-referencing the AACR2R rules, MARC tag/subfields, and interpretations for LC rules for each of the major media categories. Major formats include books, serials, videos, sound recordings and computer files. Organized in a format similar to AACR2R - according to the various media types - the book provides searching hints and match criteria, the relationships between fields in the cataloguing record, ISBN punctuation, and much more.
