Abstract

Traditional cataloging support services such as typing and filing are gradually being eliminated in favor of more sophisticated skills. Library staff members who are specialized in imminently obsolete skills must be re-educated to become productive participants in the "Golden Age" of technology. The Catalog Management section at the Iowa State University Library is attempting to make this process painless and exciting for all of its employees.

Abstract

An important part of cataloging education in library schools is descriptive cataloging, which is concerned with preparing the descriptions, entries and name headings for library materials. Although debate occurs over the primacy of theory and principles, or practices, and whether descriptive cataloging or subject analysis should receive the most emphasis, there is general agreement that all students need instruction in the processes of cataloging. The descriptive cataloging segment of the curriculum of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Washington, is described to illustrate one approach to cataloging education.

Abstract

This article describes a training program used in the Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to introduce 52 public service librarians to cataloging and classification. The program utilized specific cataloging samples, and emphasized the application of AACR 2 rules, Library of Congress rule interpretations, OCLC format documents, the Dewey Decimal Classification, and Library of Congress publications emanating from the Subject Cataloging Division. During the three year training period, the public service librarians have gradually assumed responsibility for all original cataloging of monographs.

Abstract

This paper examines library literature concerning the conflict in teaching cataloging, between education for librarianship and training for specific tasks performed in the library. The literature reflects fundamental trends in library education; balance between theory and practice, evolution from apprenticeship to graduate school and the role of cataloging in curricula. It has concerned six issues; practitioners as educators, differentiation of professional duties, centralization and cooperation, development of cataloging codes, technological change and anticipated professional functions. A more profound corollary issue is also addressed. Training prepares for the current environment; education prepares for change. The literature presents a dichotomous view, seeking resolution by balancing mutually exclusive elements. An historical perspective suggests a dialectical paradigm, a process of continuous interaction between opposing forces which produce a synthesis.

Abstract

This paper presents one approach to the teaching of both the basic and advanced courses in cataloging. In addressing the basic course, short-term and long-term objectives of the course are identified for four categories of students-Cataloging Specialists, General/Special Librarians, Non-Cataloging Specialists and Non-Library Information Specialists. The philosophy underlying this mode of instruction places emphasis upon group interaction and making the course enjoyable for the student, thus increasing interest while imparting more information and better preparing the four groups of students for work in organizing information. Stress is placed upon student participation and the use of realistic situations to instruct and evaluate student performance.

Abstract

Based on the author's experiences in cataloging, first as a paraprofessional, then as a professional, cataloging various types of materials and cataloging in very different library settings, she identifies several variables which enter into the cataloging process and describes how learning is achieved.

Abstract

Learning to be a serials cataloger can be very challenging due to the changing nature of serials. However, the foundations of serials cataloging are basically the same as for cataloging in general. In this article, two serials catalogers discuss their experiences in library school and on the job as they were initiated into the mysteries of serials cataloging.

Abstract

An informal survey was conducted for the purpose of identifying instructional materials used in teaching cataloging and classification in library and information science programs in the United States and Canada. Based on responses from instructors in these areas, three groups of instructional materials were identified: cataloging and classification tools, textbooks, and background and supplementary reading materials.

Abstract

Training for cataloging and classification within the Cataloging Department is discussed for two levels of staff, copy catalogers and original catalogers. A general pattern which moves from learning to catalog straightforward materials which require minimal editing to processing materials which are progressively more complex is described for copy catalogers. A survey of heads of cataloging departments reveals that there is a general feeling that cataloging and classification are being shortchanged in library school training and recommendations for such training are made. Training programs for original catalogers also follow a pattern, from working with LC copy to preparing original cataloging records. Some variations to the training patterns for each group are noted. The article concludes with a discussion of continuing education for both groups.
