    Abstract
    National bibliographies serve a variety of functions, but act essentially as archival records of the national imprint. However, coverage and currency are often constrained by inadequate legal deposit mechanisms, and it may be questioned whether the national bibliography needs to include all publications or whether the national bibliographic agency should act as a coordinator of current bibliographic data. Some have been driven to reduce the bibliographic content of their records as a result of declining income and increases in publishing output. Such measures have not met with universal approval, but appear to have resulted in improved currency. Technology continues to have an impact on the production of national bibliographies, with CD-ROMs, the UNIMARC format and, particularly, networking initiatives all facilitating greater availability of and access to bibliographic information. Networking may well render less relevant the local basis of national bibliographies, with possibilities for supranational coverage and the linking of document supply to bibliographic access

    Abstract
    Describes the activities of the IFLA Section on Bibliography in the improvement of bibliographic control and, especially, the encouragement of national bibliographies. Outlines a project to identify those aspects of producing a current national bibliography that distinguishes advanced countries from those that are economically disadvantaged. Presents observations regarding technology and national bibliographies and invites comments upon them to serve as input to the project. Deals with: format; coverage; currency; quality; national networks; infrastructure; education; scholarship and the national library community; and information technology

    Abstract
    Defines the virtual catalogue as a bibliographic database built up from a variety of sources, but in which differences between those sources and the means of accessing individual records from particular files are largely invisible to the user. Discusses the issue of common standards for bibliographic records in the virtual catalogue based on the author's experience of the UK Copyright Shared Cataloguing Programme. Considers the problem of deviations from standards, and suggests that in the are of the virtual catalogue present standards should be reconsidered and modified as appropriate. Access, display of records, and searching techniques are 3 areas that need such reconsideration. Recommends greater cooperation with the book trade in order to maximize the use of published information

    Abstract
    Discusses the role of the British Standards Institution (BSI) in formulating bibliographic standards. Outline how library stanbdards have developed and why librarians need to standardize. The democratic aspect of BSI's work has been adversely affected by its 1990 decision to move its IT related activities to a new body; Delivery Information Solutions to Customers through International Standars (Disc), which operates on the basis of standards being formulated only by those prepared to pay a separate subscription. Questions whether BSI is the most appropriate body to serve the interest of the library and information services community. Proposes an alternative standards umbrella that would be better informed and more representative on LIS matters, and canvasses opinion as th whether the UK Library Association could handle standards work on behalf of BSI
