- Abstract
- Reports on the results of a survey of 79 entry level cataloguers in US academic libraries designed to gather data that would characterize their opinions and experiences of cataloguing work. This information might then suggest an approach to addressing the difficulties in recruiting and retaining qualified applicants to cataloguing positions. Questions were asked on: prior job experience; library education; current work environment; career goals; and the reasons why these librarians believe they may or may not remain in cataloguing. The study also revealed attitudes to cataloguing expressed by library educators and professional colleagues. Many deficiencies in library education in preparation for cataloguing were perceived by respondents
