Cataloguing

The process of creating entries for a catalogue. In libraries, this usually includes
bibliographic description, subject analysis, assignment of classification notation, and all the
activities involved in physically preparing the item for the shelf, tasks usually performed
under the supervision of a librarian trained as a cataloguer.
Cataloguing-In-Publication (CIP)

CIP was pioneered in the U.S. Library of Congress in 1971. The British programme, which
closely resembles the US system, became fully operational in 1977. The aim of the
programme is to provide bibliographic data for new books in advance of publication, and it
depends heavily on the voluntary co-operation of publishers. Records are compiled from
information supplied by publishers on a standard data sheet. The record also appears in the
book itself, usually on the verso of the title-page. (Prytherch, 2005, p. 115)
Copyright

The exclusive right given by law to authors, composers or publishers to sell, reproduce or
publish a work during a stated period of time. It is a form of protection for works, such as
novels and journal articles, which result from the skill and labour of a creator, and for
other subject matter which results from the investment of a producer, such as a film.
