Long description:

Combining theory and practical knowledge, this guide aims to improve the principles of the third generation of cataloguing and, more widely, to contribute to the shift of paradigm related to the emerging bibliographic ecosystem. The concepts, practices and benefits discussed are transversal and international, offering readers the opportunity to create a new level of international cooperation which will enable them to share responsibility for the quality and maintenance of knowledge and information. Readers will learn the importance of adopting new methods to remain relevant in modern and international settings, which will empower them to approach and apply entity modelling with greater confidence.

Aimed at library and information professionals, who are interested in broadening their knowledge of cataloguing.
