The cataloging and classification field is experiencing a remarkable transformation, driven by the introduction of innovative concepts and models such as linked data, identity management, the IFLA Library Reference Model, and the latest revision of Resource Description and Access (RDA). These developments hold immense potential to revolutionize the way libraries provide access to their collections. To equip library and information science (LIS) students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive as cataloging practitioners in this evolving landscape, it is imperative that they possess a solid foundation in fundamental cataloging concepts, standards, and practices.

Understanding the historical context, current status, and future possibilities of cataloging is crucial for preparing LIS students to excel in their roles. The chapters in Cataloging and Classification: Back to Basics aim to complement textbooks and lectures, allowing students to delve deeper into specific topics and gain a comprehensive understanding of cataloging and classification.

Furthermore, these chapters are valuable resources for both new and well-experienced library practitioners, serving as a refresher or a means to address any knowledge gaps in cataloging and classification. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, further emphasizing their significance and authority in the field.
