Abstract

In October of 1999 there was a discussion on AUTOCAT (an e-list for cataloguers) of the advantages and disadvantages of classifying Internet resources catalogued locally, which grew to include a discussion of cataloguing electronic resources generally. This article reviews the background of applying bibliographic description techniques to electronic resources, and summarizes the AUTOCAT discussion. The exchange of opinion confirms that while some librarians see classification as primarily a method of assigning a shelf location for a physical item, many others see classification as a valid subject approach for all the materials either in the library's collection or available to the library's patrons through the library catalogue

Abstract

The number of resources on the Internet continues to expand exponentially, but finding appropriate resources is still a fragmented, random operation. Argues that traditional library expertise in bibliographic description and access should be applied to the management of this emerging body of material. In the process, cataloguers will be able to assess the adequacy of current tools (cataloguing codes, computerized cataloguing formats, integrated library systems) for providing access to Internet resources and will contribute credibly to design or redesign of access tools. Outlines the major issues that must be considered in cataloguing electronic resources

Abstract

Since late in 1995, the library at the Faculty of Information Studies (FIS) at Toronto University, Canada, has been experimenting with and refining the policies and procedures for the cataloguing of Internet resources. Describes how decisions are taken on what to catalogue and what standards to use. Introduces the FIS/ISM Cataloguing Internet Resources Project (CIRP), ahich at present involves the cooperation of 6 libraries. Discusses problems encountered, in particular the 3 challenges of determining the nature of the site, coping with and anticipating changes in a site, and considering the needs and technological resources of library users

Abstract

Cataloguers place a high importance on the ready availability of current and accurate local procedures. By using WWW technology, these procedures may be easily updated, made searchable via powerful search engines and capable of linking directly to related resources. Cataloguers' skills in organization and classification provide a good foundation for learning the basics of Web site creation. Presents some guidelines for dealing with the logical organization of procedures on the WWW, along with the use of appropriate language of consistent design

Abstract

While the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition (AACR2) has served well for all kinds of new information packages as they have been developed since the inception of AACR2 in 1978, the Internet is presenting challenges that are not as readily soluble. Five of the major problems for catalogers are discussed: What is an information package? What is a chief source of information? What is a new edition? Are all Internet resources "published"? Why a "Rule of 3"? Some issues and problems are discussed and some recommendations are made

Abstract

As a powerful and radically new information medium, the World Wide Web has been embraced by libraries, as information centers par excellence, for its potential in effectively addressing patron needs. Because of the Web's rapid growth, librarians and other information professionals are developing a variety of solutions to bring the explosion of Web resources under control. While paradigmatic transformations like that taking place in the information industry today have become a tangible reality, information professionals are recognizing that only through the strategic redefining of the essential functions of libraries - selection, acquisition, organization, and access - will the transformative power of such change be harnessed most effectively. This paper attempts to characterize the conceptual 'playing field' of the current transformations taking place, and in so doing process a structural model of the relationship that libraries should develop to Internet-based resources. The tandem concepts of digital libraries and metadata are key components of this model, and the intent is to anchor them firmly within the organizational and managerial context of library administration. How we mentally structure and 'visualize' a library's role is the unfolding digital revolution is critical to the future of libraries as institutions. In visualizing this role, librarians should focus on the library's traditional functions and rethink these functions in the new digital environment. The two concepts hold the potential for fully integrating the essential functions of the library into the digital environment, and strategically centering the library for the critical role it should play in the coming digital society of the 21st century

Abstract

Information professions identified the need for a set of standard metadata almost as soon as the WWW became a reality. Several initiatives have already identified the types of bibliographic information that would be necessary to describe and locate an electronic publication. The descriptors identified in the OCLC/NCSA Dublin Core are combined with those assembled by the Coalition of Networked Information and the Internet Engineering Task force to produce a list of electronic citation elements. Advocates embedding these citation elements within electrinic documents through the use of HTML<META>tags and other markup techniques. There is also a call to cataloguing librarians to contribute their expertise in information resources management to document being prepared for the WWW in order to influence the quality of electronic publication from the insides

Abstract

At present cataloguing of Internet resources are on 2 levels. At level 1, the description of resources is contained in local library catalogues, along with bibliographic surrogates for all other materials that the library access, based on AACR2/MARC systems. At level 2, Internet resources are organized independently of any library agency. These include separate catalogues of selected resources, subject browsing lists and robot-generated search tools, and focus exclusively on Internet resources. A 3rd level needs to be developed - a metacatalogue - whereby a user can identify specific library catalogues to include in a search query of other Internet databases

Abstract

The vast, uncontrolled, mass of data available on the Internet poses specific problems for librarians, and in particular for cataloguers. In addition to problems of scale, quality and stability of the information available electronically, the British Library has concerns peculiar to a national archive. The Electronic Media Group (EMG) within the Cataloguing Department at the British Library has been addressing some of these issues while investigating the cataloguing of works in new forms. Outlines some of the problems addressed and gives brief overviews of similar work and experiments discivered by the EMG as being conducted by other cataloguers and information scientists in this field

Abstract

Considers the various approaches that have been taken by different groups to collect, organise, archive, disseminate and preserve electronic resources on the Internet with particular reference to the traditional library cataloguing approach. Demonstrates the benefits of uisng the MARC formats, the importance of the integration of information resources, and the guarantee of public access as the major reasons for using the traditional cataloguing approach to organize Internet resources. Examines the advantages of the MARC format in terms of: standard communication formats; simple record structure for all levels of description; flexible display formats; multiple access points; full bibliographic description; integration of all kinds of information resources into library catalogues; and guarateed public access. Reviews the issues involved in cataloguing information on the Internet with particular reference to the OCLC Internet Cataloguing Project and the implications for standard library activities, such as: collection development; cataloguing; public services; and local computer support

Abstract

Describes the structure of metadata formats with particular reference to the taxonomy of data formats set out by the BIBLINK report of the UK Office for Library and Information Networking and based on their underlying complexity. Referes to 3 main types of metadata: Dublin Core; MARC and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). Provides practical examples of the actual codings used, illustrated with reference to the Dublin Core, Marc and FGDC elements in selected Web sites. Ends with a glossary and a list of Web sites containing background information on metadata, such as the IAMSLIC metadata homepage

Abstract

Examines the effects of the Internet on the work of descriptive cataloguer. Most of the effects stem from services available via the WWW and Web sites. These services either put the desriptive cataloguer in closer contact with suppliers, publishers, or vendors,or offer access to a vast range of reference or cataloguing information. Such services provided by the WWW will have a profound influence on the practice of descriptove cataloguing

Abstract

Discusses an entirely new domain of information that requires bibliographic control: networked information resources. Describes the work of a subgroup of the Internet Engineering Task Force, the IETF Working Group on Unifrom Resource Identifiers which has created a structure for naming networked resources and describing them and their locations in 'etherspace'. Notes the interplay between the components of this structure: the Uniform Resource Identifier, the Uniform Resource Name, the Uniform Resource Locator, and the Uniform Resource Characteristics

Abstract

Describes the evolving ways of making documents and document like objects bibliographically accessible by the library cataloguing community and reports initiatives. Includes: definition of a basic set of data elements known as the Dublin Core; examination of library cataloguing objectives and record structures; proposals for persistent addresses for resources; and support for the idea of data registry to facilitate interoperability among metadata schemes

Abstract

Introduces a special section on organizing Internet resources. Approaches based on fulltext indexing of the content of Internet sites are not an adequate solution for providing access to Internet resources. Adding metadata can provide an overview of a subject area and improve the user's ability to discriminate among similar sources. Introduces the articles in this section that explore issues associated with the provision of metadata

Abstract

The aim of the CATRIONA (Cataloguing and Retrieval of Information over Networks Applications) feasibility study was to investigate the technical, organizational and financial requirements for the development of applications software and procedures to enable the cataloguing, calssification and retrieval of documents and other resources over networks such as the Internet. The CATRIONA feasibility study demonstrated that the idea of a distributed catalogue of Internet resources integrated with standard Z39.50 library system OPAC interfaces is already a practical proposition at its most basic level. Proposes that the next step should be a distributed CATRIONA demonstrator project, based on the Scottish University and Research Libraries (SCURL) group of libraries cooperating to catalogue local electronic resources and selected areas of BUBL Subject Trees, but also sufficiently 'open' to encompass other sites, projects and approaches
