- Abstract
- Traditional cataloguing practices have been geared to printed materials or other materials that have fixed forms. The advent of electronic library materials poses new challenges for cataloguing as electronic objects may exist in multiple and changing versions. Discusses current attempts to organize electronic information objects in a world that is messy, volatile and uncontrolled and traces library cataloguing from manual to electronic organization. Electronic text may be available as a standalone ASCII, PostScript or another file. The file can reside on a floppy disk or on a minicomputer or mainframe computer as a file with a URL address and directory path. Briefly reviews some Internet indexing projects and prototypes, presents a vision of what cataloguing could evolve into the electronic world and discusses what needs to be done to realise this vision
