Sounds like an MMA title match! Interesting and informative lesson on the details of CIP and MARC records this week. I found both styles had their pros and con. Unfortunately, they didn't appear to be consistent on the length or detail of their descriptions enough to trust one over the other. They seem equally valuable. I was not surprized by the differences in the records, although I did expect to see more information on the CIP record that was accurate and revealing, not the MARC. (a bird in the hand is more than two in the bush). Grateful too that this lesson enabled me to dust off some old reading to share with my little guy!! He loves Winnie the Pooh.
What do you call the information on the back cover of the text which includes a bibliography of the author and information about the publication of the book and its success??
