Abstract: Libraries, their collections, and bibliographic control are essential components of the provision of access to recorded knowledge. Cataloging is a primary method of bibliographic control. Full or traditional cataloging is very expensive, but relying on keyword searching is inadequate. Alternatives for a solution to cataloging needs for electronic resources including the use of metadata and the Dublin Core are examined. Many questions exist regarding the long-term future of today's electronic documents. Recommendations are made for preserving recorded knowledge and information in the electronic resources for future generations

Abstract

Reach for 'Future libraries' when they say you don't need staff, space, or collections; when they tell you to get with the all-electronic future and when they tell you that the virtual library will do it all for less. Crawford and Gorman find much of this future vision to be virtual nonsense and, in fact, devastating to the cultural mission of libraries. Thsi volume is a valuable antidote to the flood of hyperbole about libraries without walls, electronic texts and virtual collections which we have seen in the past 2 years

Abstract: Supports the continuing value of subject access in libraries. Isolates factors that should be taken into account when evaluating the cost effectiveness and cost benefit of subject access systems: type of subject need, recall and relevance, specifity, expressed relationship, usability, time, authority control, and cost

Abstract

The paper discusses the nature of values in general and the nature and utility of the values of librarianship. Delineates the changes that have occurred and are occurring in the wider world and the nature of change; also the importance of values in providing a framework for dealing with present and future change. Stresses the centrality of the human record to societal progress, the place of the human record in cultural heritage, and the central purpose of libraries in facilitating interaction with the human record and furthering the transmission of cultural heritage. Urges a turning away from the alien value systems of information technology, consumerism, materialism, and corporate management, and a consequent set of alliances between libraries and a wide range of cultural institutions and associations.

Abstract

Explains Ranganathan's 5 Laws of Library Science which are: books are for use; every book its reader; every reader his book; save the time of the reader; and the library is a growing organism: offers 5 new laws of library science in the belief that they are more appropriate in the current context; libraries serve humanity; respect all forms by which knowledge is communicated; use technology intelligently to enhance service; protect free access to knowledge; and honour the past and create the future

Abstract

Reviews the current economic and social situation, the negative effects on civilization of commercialized entertainment and computers, and concepts of society and discusses how regaining control in the areas of libraries and cataloguing can counter these negative influences. Focuses on the ability of cataloguers to continue to offer access to knowledge through integrated records of pan media collections and examines the questions of what should be recorded, standards and descriptive cataloguing. To maximize the abilities of computerized systems proposes an approach to subject indexing, classification, shelf arrangement and an overhaul of MARC

Abstract

Argues against the downgrading of cataloguing within libraries. Hightlights 2 ways in which this is occuring: the reduction or elimination of professional cataloguers and the reliance of clerical staff in their place; and outsourcing, or privatization of the library's current cataloguing. Stresses that cataloguing is at the heart of the library and that the interrelationship between reference service and catalguing needs to be recognized and strenghtened. Also addresses the issues of universal bibliographic control (based on a bedrock of good local cataloguing) and of the bibliographic control of electronic resources, which, it is argued, given the evidence of the chaos on the Internet, is in dire need of the skills of professional cataloguers
