Checking the Catalog

I've been enjoying the opportunity to become better acquainted with MARC lately.

The relationship is developing slowly, with many references to the official MARC Bibliographic page, but I'm confident that in time I will speak fluently of fields, indicators and subfield codes, as the need requires.

Yes, I shall be a cataloger.

Sadly, I sold my AACR2 to another student while I was still in school, deciding I could use the $70 more than the undoubted satisfaction of having a giant volume of cataloging rules hanging around. Now I can't set it on my desk as a talisman of my awesome power.
