- Abstract
- This article describes three important bibliographic databases in Latin America, two of which have been created by national library networks. In the networks shared cataloging has become increasingly important. The databases contain much cataloging information not available outside Latin America. During the last two years the national libraries of Venezuela and Chile have exchanged their data and furnished it to a library in Colombia which is beginning the automation process. The article describes the formation of the networks from the point of view of database building, and examines prospects for increasing exchanges of data in the region.
