Cataloging Policy and Procedure Manual

Welcome to Our Library Policies Manual

This page has been created by the Asheville Cohort of the Appalachian State University Master of Library Science Program as a part of our LIB 5030 Cataloging class.  The purpose of our page is to show the elements of a Cataloging and Classification Procedure Manual. We hope that you find it useful in your quest for knowledge on Cataloging Procedures.


This policy manual is for use at the ABC School library.  We have a holding of 6000+ books and a large selection of non-print items.

The catalog is available online to patrons via the OPAC system.  Currently we adhere to the MARC and AACR standards, but intend on adapting the manual as the new RDA standards make necessary.
