Paije (and all my other LM_NET colleagues),
I just recently completed my library science grad work. For our cataloging class,
there were 2 texts that were 'recommended' but not required. I use them all the
time now that I'm in my own library. I highly recommend them both.
Piepenburg, Scott. Easy MARC: A simplified guide to creating catalog records for
library automation systems. ISBN 0965212629 (This is the one I use most.)
Maxwell, Robert. Maxwell's handbook for AACR2: explaining and illustrating the
Anglo-American cataloging rules through the 2003 update. ISBN 0838908756
Several people in my library classes didn't buy all the textbooks for our classes.
For my undergrad and 1st masters degree, a lot of the time we really didn't need
even the required textbook. (Of course, I'd already bought them & was into the
course before I ever realized that!) I found, however, that my library science
books have been immensely helpful out in the 'real world' and not just for
finishing class assignments. If your professors recommend books, take a good look
at them and find a way to get them. They can make your life much less complicated
and stressful!
Here's to hoping your professors are as good as mine were!
:-)

I am currently in grad school to become a LMS. I recently was asked
the following questions and referred to the librarian that works in the
school where I teach 3rd grade. She could not help with any of the
answers. Therefore, I am seeking your help! If you know any of the
following answers or know where I can find the following information,
PLEASE let me know ASAP. I appreciate any and all replies! I am
desperate!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!
