Title

Nice work if you can get it? : A study of patterns and trends in cataloguing employment in the USA and the UK in the mid-1990s

Abstract

Findings of an investigation into cataloguing vacancies advertised over a twelve month period (March1995 to February 1996) in the US and the UK are presented and discussed. The study was undertaken to investigate current trends in cataloguing employment, providing empirical input to the debate over the present status and the future of cataloguing in both countries. Supplementary data was derived from questionnaires circulated during the same period to UK employment agencies and practicing UK cataloguers. Wider inferences and conclusions are drawn in a final discussion, suggesting that there is no evidence to indicate a collapse of demand for cataloguing skills by libraries and related organizations.However, there is evidence of a decline in demand in the US since the late 1980s, and a significant shift towards temporary work in the UK.
