    Abstract
    Cataloguers need to create and harness flexibility and commitment in order to develop a cataloguing strategy. This can be done through developing trust. Explains how the British Library Cataloguing Department is attempting to carry out a strategy of rethinking its values and agreeing a programme of action for achieving them. The key elements of this strategy are cooperation in record creation, and training and development of professionally assertive and flexible staff

    Abstract
    Addresses the tensions found in the triangle of local catalogues, international exchange of records and authority control. Examines the philosophy of authority control and what it involves in practice. Shows how the concept had developed since the advent of computer-readable catalogues. Looks at some of the issues created by the increasing tendency of libraries to take into their local catalogues name forms provided by national or even international bibliographic services and their implications

    Abstract
    Discusses the place of traditional bibliographic standards in the new electronic age. Questions the more extreme predictions of Internet enthusiasts concerning the future of printed materials and considers the culture change involved in developing print based and network based systems side by side. Discusses the nature of the standards required and concludes that existing bibliographic standards are not only suitable for dealing with the new situation but also have the benefit of applying relevant professional wisdom learned over many years to the new situation. Discusses AACR and indicates some possible amendments to the machine readable catalogue formats

    Abstract
    Rejects ideas that print will be replaced by electronic access to information. Librarianship should incorporate the useful aspects of electronic technology while maintaining what is useful and good about past and present services. Considers how to best adapt and enhance current structures to accomodate electronic documents and to use automation to improve access and delivery. Cataloguing and classification will remain central to information access. Examines the future of bibliographic standards in the future

    Abstract
    The British Library does not have a uniform system of authority control across its catalogues: for neither names, nor uniform titles nor subjects. Presents evidence to suggest that the BL's past, economic present and technological future all conspire against the wholesale- adoption of authority control in the traditional sense. Explains the crux of the dilemma of authority control within the BL and examines the implications of Michael Gorman's idea of linked packages of information, each covering a particular bibliographic facet of the item being catalogued, for the creation and allocation of access points

    Abstract
    Places present day UK culture and society in a postmodern context and considers their impact and cataloguing, concentrating specifically on the concepts of globalization and the death of tradition. Discusses how libraries can continue to provide high quality, structured access to their collections and the need for strategic management of this process. Emphasizes the importance of defining what the library want to achieve, setting objectives, and maintaining the capacity for flexible response to changing conditions, using as a case study the development and implementation of the British Library cataloguing strategy

    Abstract
    Describes a 4-year project to convert the British Library catalogue to machine-readable form. After a brief description of the catalogue and some of its oddities and idiosyncrasies, discusses how the conversion was managed, from the inception of the project through to near-completion in 1991. Identifies 3 stages: deciding to convert, the fundamental principles of the conversion, and drawing up the specification and signing the contract; setting up and implementing the project; and managing the ongoing conversion process and planning for the post-capture record processing and handling. Concludes with a checklist of do's and don'ts for those contemplating retrospective conversion of a catalogue which cannot be handled by conventional means
