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

Abstract

The development of expert systems for cataloguing has had limited success. Reports on a feasibility study for a project addressing the latter issue of the lack of understanding of expertise possessed by cataloguers which was planned in cooperation with the National Agricultural Library. Suggests a model of cataloguing expertise using tasks categories and skill facets. Plan of conduct of the cataloguing expertise project is also described

Abstract

The human process of determining bibliographic data from title pages of monographs is complex, yet systematic. This paper investigates the intellectual process involved, in conceptual and logical levels, by proposing a model of the expert system for determining title proper as the first element of the first area in ISBD. It assumes that the title page of a monograph consists of more than one block of character or graphic representation. Each block has its physical and content characteristics and can be separated from other blocks by separators. Three categories of expert knowledge are identified, and the system model is discussed along with its individual system component. It applies the "list" concept for the system data structure and addresses the potentiality of this conceptual model.

Abstract

This paper compares the difference between approaches to defining database quality in cataloging and in online databases. Authority control is a solution created by catalogers to ensure that access points are both collocated and differentiated in a library catalog. This time consuming and costly method of quality control is used by catalogers based on the principle that the quality of individual cataloging records determines the success rate for user searching the library catalog. The principle is not shared by creators of online databases, who universally prefer speed to uniformity and standardization of access points.

Abstract

Uncertainty over the future of cataloguing and the gap between cataloguing research and practice exist partially because of the rapid change in technology over the 20th century. Explores the role of technology in its relation to cataloguing knowledge and research. Examines the history of technology in cataloguing. A conventional view of cataloguing practice is followed by a critical review of impacts of technology on cataloguing theories. Recommendations are made on some issues of cataloguing research and the directions cataloguing researchers and practitioners should take

Abstract

The traditional library and information science (LIS) curriculum for organization of information assumes a cataloging paradigm that is built on the concepts and theories developed throughout the history of library cataloging as well as practical knowledge and skills of applying current standards and systems developed specifically for practice in cataloging. Advocates for LIS curriculum reform point out, however, that this cataloging paradigm must be replaced by knowledge of resources and systems management in order to equip LIS graduates with the knowledge and skills needed for an information society. By comparing the traditional and nontraditional curricula in the area of organization of information, this paper proposes a paradigm for organization of information in which information is defined in the context of five attributes and cataloging is perceived as a mode of organizational behavior. Some implications of this paradigm on the core curriculum for organization of information are suggested
