- Abstract
- Is there a future for the library cataloger? For the past thirty years this debate has increased with the continued growth of online resources and greater access to the World Wide Web. Many are concerned that library administrators believe budgetary resources would be better spent on other matters, leaving library users with an overabundance of electronic information to muddle through on their own. This article focuses on the future of the cataloging profession and its importance to the needs of library patrons.

- Abstract
- This article details the results of a 2011 study of cataloger librarians' changing roles and responsibilities at academic Association of Research Libraries. The study participants, cataloging department heads, report that cataloger librarian roles are expanding to include cataloging more electronic resources and local hidden collections in addition to print materials. They are also creating non-MARC metadata. The increased usage of vendor products and services is also affecting the roles of cataloger librarians at some institutions. The article explores what skills cataloger librarians will need in the future and how libraries are providing training for that future.

- 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.

- The consequences of this are plain to see; the rural poor flock to cities, to shanty towns, driven by hope. And then often, finding that the Instagram nirvana is not available there, they seek it overseas, joining the ever greater numbers of economic migrants in search of a better life. These migrants in turn place new demands on the infrastructures and economies of the countries in which they arrive, undermining tolerance and further fuelling political populism. For me, the really concerning aspect of this, is that now, more than at any time in our history, our species needs to work together. We face awesome environmental challenges. Climate change, food production, overpopulation, the decimation of other species, epidemic disease, acidification of the oceans. Together, they are a reminder that we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity. We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it. Perhaps in a few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amidst the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it. To do that, we need to break down not build up barriers within and between nations. If we are to stand a chance of doing that, the world's leaders need to acknowledge that they have failed and are failing the many. With resources increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, we are going to have to learn to share far more than at present. With not only jobs but entire industries disappearing, we must help people to re-train for a new world and support them financially while they do so. If communities and economies cannot cope with current levels of migration, we must do more to encourage global development, as that is the only way that the migratory millions will be persuaded to seek their future at home. We can do this, I am an enormous optimist for my species, but it will require the elites, from London to Harvard, from Cambridge to Hollywood, to learn the lessons of the past month. To learn above all a measure of humility."

- Abstract
- Die globale Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise hat sich früh auf Bibliotheken ausgewirkt. Das gilt insbesondere für ihr Entstehungsland, die USA. Die staatlich finanzierten Public Libraries sahen sich gleichzeitig mit sinkenden Haushalten und steigenden Nutzerzahlen konfrontiert. Doch viele Bibliothekare und Nutzer wehrten sich aktiv gegen die finanziellen Einschnitte. Mit kreativen Advocacy-Methoden mobilisierten sie die Öffentlichkeit und informierten über die Bibliothekenkrise. Auch die prestigeträchtige New York Public Library (NYPL) blieb von den Haushaltskürzungen nicht verschont. Dennoch veröffentlichte sie Anfang 2012 den so genannten Central Library Plan. Dieser beinhaltet v. a. umfangreiche Baumaßnahmen im renommierten Hauptgebäude: Der Nutzerbereich wird ausgeweitet, mehr Internet-Arbeitsplätze entstehen und erstmals zieht ein Café in das Bibliotheksgebäude ein. Um hierfür Platz zu gewinnen, soll ein Großteil der Bücher in ein Außenmagazin ausgelagert werden. Die Pläne stießen auf heftige Kritik und entfachten eine hitzige Debatte in den US-amerikanischen Medien. Über ein halbes Jahr hinweg verhandelten das NYPL-Management und die Nutzer in der Presse und in Internetforen über die Ausgestaltung ihrer Bibliothek. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass es bei der gesamten Diskussion um mehr ging als um die einzelnen Baupläne: Die Debatte spiegelte eine allgemeine Unsicherheit gegenüber der Bedeutung und Ausrichtung von Bibliotheken in der aktuellen Krise und in Zukunft wider.
