Features: This book also aims to reflect the following two characteristics: one is new, and the other is practical. The term new refers to basing it on the new international standards, national standards, and industry standards of bibliographic compilation, while incorporating into it some research results proposed in recent years—whether for manual or computer-assisted bibliographic compilation and online collaborative bibliographic compilation—that have been proven feasible through practice. The term practical means presenting the basic and core content of Chinese bibliographic compilation, Western bibliographic compilation, manual bibliographic compilation, computer-assisted bibliographic compilation, and the bibliographic compilation of both physical and online information resources in the fewest possible pages, while striving for concise and easy-to-understand language. This makes it suitable as a textbook for students majoring in library and information science, as well as a handbook for librarians in library and information departments. Similarly, this book can also serve as a teaching material for self-study examinations in library science and/or professional qualification examinations. Moreover, it is one of the essential reading materials for those applying to graduate programs in library science research.
