Title

Australia: The ABN, ANB, AUSMARC and the National Library

Abstract

Australian libraries have kept up with the latest technology and innovation in cataloging. The Australian Bibliographic Network is a shared cataloging-based national bibliographic utility. This essay delves into the relationships of the ABN, the Australian National Bibliography, AUSMARC, and the role of the Australian National Library in the creation of these elements of computerized cataloging in that country. It also discusses some of the policies and procedures utilized by Australian libraries in their automated cataloging environment, as well as looking at some of the environmental attitudes arising from the change to automated cataloging. Finally, the essay concludes with an outline of some of the similarities and differences between the AUSMARC and USMARC formats.
