- Abstract
- This is a critical descriptive study of the situation of Cataloging as an academic discipline within Library and Information Science studies in Spain. Material and methods: The descriptive analysis of the sectional contents of the General and Specific Guidelines of the degreees of Diplomado (three-year degree) and Licenciado (five-year degree) in LIS and the Curricular Programs of the Spanish University schools or departments. Variables analyzed: the denomination and content descriptors of the course offerings and credit hours. The test-retest method was used, with a qualitative processing of data. Results: General data is given about the studies in LIS: their introduction, the universities that offer them, and the degrees awarded. Cataloging is considered an obligatory core subject matter, and is represented by several courses that present important differences insofar as their denominations, their credits and their character from one curricular program to the next. The average credit requisite for obligatory courses in cataloging in Spain is 14 (1 credit= 10 class hours), and 19.7 if we also consider the electives. At present, this discipline is undergoing a reform that will produce important changes as a result of the adaptation of university studies to the common framework of the European Union.
