This will serve as a brief introduction to cataloging for non-catalogers and will help you to understand cataloging's purpose\, its goals\, and some of its terminology\, especially the changes you may have been seeing with the implementation of RDA recently.\n\n \n\nJoin catalogers Christopher Hill\, McKenna Leckrone and Jessica C.
