    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
    Rejects ideas that print will be replaced by electronic access to information. Librarianship should incorporate the useful aspects of electronic technology while maintaining what is useful and good about past and present services. Considers how to best adapt and enhance current structures to accomodate electronic documents and to use automation to improve access and delivery. Cataloguing and classification will remain central to information access. Examines the future of bibliographic standards in the future

    Abstract
    Describes the adoption of MARC and AARC standards since 1968. Considers an electronic library which unites catalogues, indexes, abstracts, bibliographies, the contents of documents and the documents themselves. This poses problems for bibliographic control in the regions of authority control and handling searchable full text. Explains why MARC would be suited to such a system. Propoeses a revised MARC and suggests a format for the accompanying manual. Considers improvements to AACR2

    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
    Defines authority control and vocabulary control and their place and utility in modern cataloguing. Discusses authority records and authority files and the use and purposes of each. Describes the creation of authority records and the sources from which authority data is collected. Discusses "metadata" schemes and their manifold and manifest inadequacies; points out the relationship of the Dublin Core to the MARC family of standards and the fact that both are framework standards-the first simplistic and naïve, the second complex and nuanced. Defines precision and recall as desiderata in indexing and retrieval schemes and relates them to authority control in catalogues. Discusses the problems involved in cataloguing electronic documents and resources and proposes an international program under the Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC) umbrella, using an international code of descriptive cataloguing, and based on an international name authority file. Calls for urgent action on these proposals.

    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
