Guide to MARC 21 : for cataloging of books and serials : with functional definitions, examples, and working resources

marc "Guide to MARC 21 for Cataloging Books and Serials serves as a comprehensive handbook for MARC catalogers and as a learning resource for students. The book represents a subset of MARC21 fields delineating scope, content designations, interpretations and examples. The terminology and definitions used are in tune with MARC documentation, CCP, OCLC, AACR2 and ISBD. Based on the most recent updates to MARC, the book offers field- and subfield-specific interpretations of rules and provides many examples for the appropriate use of tags, delimiters and date renderings. There is a detailed bibliography and webography, plus a list of gateways that provide authentic information sources about MARC-compatible library software, utilities, freely accessible databases of MARC records and online cataloging norms and practices." - Amazon.com

Crash Course in Storytime Fundamentals

School Library Journal Review: Practical and concise, this well-organized and readable guide is for inexperienced staff members who are not necessarily children's librarians. The 75 themed storytimes include different types of books and Web sites and sources for songs, musical instruments, fingerplays, games, puppets, and crafts. The author discusses best times and settings for programs; special issues, such as children's and parents' behavior; the "registration" question, and more. Peck's programs place much emphasis on prekindergarten readiness and preliteracy readiness for preschoolers. Peck gives much more step-by-step guidance [than similar books].—Judy Sokoll, Florida Storytelling Association, Naples.
