Default worth noticing?

Hi everybody. I have problems with the expression "worth noticing". I know its meaning, but what is problematic is how to put it correctly in the sentence.

I.e.:

worth noticing (is?) the catalogue containing Pat's career as well as the listing of his books;
or

The catalogue is worth noticing, containining......
or

the catalogue, containining......, is worth noticing

You can use it in all of these ways.
