Title

Looking back at looking ahead, or "The catalogs of the future revisited" with additional speculations

Abstract

Presents a brief reexamniation of the views expressed in the essay mentioned. That essay suggested that scholars, in particular, would have difficulty dealing with the mass of information available in the catalogues of the future and offered several suggestions for lessening their burdens. While those suggestion have not been adopted, it appears as though the mass of information now available from all sources, including library catalogues is far greater than anticipated. Offers further speculations about how libraries might best be involved in organizing access to information in the future
