- Abstract
- The descriptive cataloging literature of 1992 is examined. A number of works deal with the cataloging of special materials. Work in artificial intelligence and expert systems is drawing increased attention, as is the problem of dealing with nonroman scripts in the online environment. Critical analyses of the Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) formats are also notable. The practicing cataloger is faced with the familiar dilemma of needing to improve cataloging techniques in the here and now, which almost inevitably means incremental change and the desire for a broader vision of the future. The literature shows good efforts in both areas but leaves many fundamental questions unanswered
