Ah, a video cataloging question; where to begin?
These are heady days in cataloging. The Library of Congress has announced that
they are changing to the new cataloging rules titled RDA (for Resource
Description and Access) after years of following the current AACR2r
(Anglo-American Cataloging R
I think it depends on the volume of your ordering and the level of
