Abstract

Teaching cataloguing requires the instructor to make strategic decisions about how to approach the variety and complexity of the field and to provide an adequate theoretical foundation while preparing students for their entry into the world of practice. Accompanying these challenges are the tactical demands of providing this instruction in a distance education environment. Rather than focusing on ways to support learners in catalogue record production, instructors may use a problem solving and decision making approach to instruction. In this paper, a way to conceptualize a decision making approach that builds on a foundation provided by theories of information navigation is described. This approach, which is called "wayfinding", teaches by having students learn to find their way in the sets of rules that are commonly used. The method focuses on instruction about the structural features of rule sets, providing basic definitions of what each of the "places" in the rule sets contain (e.g., "formatting personal names" in Chapter 22 of AACR2R) and about ways to navigate those structures, enabling students to learn not only about common rules but also about less well known cataloguing practices ("dragons"). It provides both pragmatic and pedagogical benefits and helps develop links between cataloguing practices and their theoretical foundations.

Abstract

Argues against various trends towards the downgrading of cataloguing in librarianship. These include the administrative response to the ready availability of shared catalogue records, the targeting of cataloguing positions when library budgets shrink, the 'supply and demand' attitude of library schools in the USA which less often insist on students studying cataloguing, and the lack of a core and prescriptive curriculum for library professionals sponsored by the ALA. The study of cataloguing and cataloguing theory promotes skills that ensure consistency, predictibility and repeatability of access to materials, and the lack of these skills among librarians harms the services they provide

Abstract

This paper discusses an innovative approach to teaching cataloguing. At Queensland University of Technology (QUT), students enrolled in the Graduate Diploma of Library and Information Studies were involved in an independent learning activity which aimed to develop LIS students' foundation knowledge of descriptive cataloguing, while simultaneously encouraging students to think critically about broader issues that would inevitably impact on their role as information professionals. In the self-study program, learning activities included an interactive multimedia CD-ROM and a printed workbook with exercises, augmented by the opportunity for group discussion in weekly tutorials to enable students to share key aspects of their independent learning. Students were asked to critically evaluate the CD-ROM and the workbook and also to develop their own professional views about the arguments for and against the inclusion of cataloguing in the LIS curriculum. The paper presents the outcomes of this pilot project.

Abstract

Cataloging is a dynamic and ever changing activity. Developments in codes and standards create a need for continuing reconsideration of the design of our curricula. Format integration, in particular, raises questions about the structure of curricula for cataloging and classification. The issues relating to differing formats of materials are not new, but the process of standardization of treatment, which was begun quite tentatively in the development of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR) has blossomed to the fore in the ensuing years. This paper examines the historical context of the integration of formats before addressing the continuing arguments that maintain that all types of materials should be treated in an introductory course as opposed to those that assert that format issues should not be covered in any depth in an introductory course. A design for an integrated, but not exhaustive, treatment of formats in an introductory course with more detailed coverage included in advanced courses is proposed.

Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of a series of in-house training offered to cataloguers and para-professional cataloguing staff at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago. Design/methodology/approach - The instrument used for the survey was a questionnaire which sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the training over a two-year period. Through the application of a five-point Likert scale respondents were required to indicate their levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the training sessions. Findings - The paper reveals the relevance and effectiveness of a structured approach to cataloguing training and highlights the need for cataloguing staff to keep abreast of current trends through continuing education. It also demonstrates a dire need for greater collaboration between library schools and libraries in the development of proficiencies for entry level cataloguers. Research limitations/implications - The collective evaluation of professionals and para-professionals with varying levels of cataloguing knowledge and competencies impacted on the reliability of the data. Originality/value - The paper serves as a model for future cataloguing training at the St Augustine Campus Libraries and can be adapted by other libraries for meeting their training needs in cataloguing.

Abstract

The theory versus practice issue in library and information science education in general and in cataloguing education in particular has long been debated. Decreasing budgets, dependence on technology, the availability of bibliographic utilities, and the outsourcing of cataloguing may contribute to the debate and concern associated with cataloguing education. A new library and information services programme at University College of the University of Denver was designed to incorporate the research and scholarly thought and the practice of the library and information science discipline with other related disciplines. The cataloguing component developed for the programme utilizes active learning techniques supplemented by a theoretical core

Abstract

The appropriateness of utilising a training resource programme consisting of a mix of media and technologies for the training of cataloguing students is evaluated. The findings from reported research and evaluation of the training resource programme made it possible to identify advantages and disadvantages of using such a programme. The results of the research enabled the researcher to derive guidelines for the design and development of a training resource programme consisting of a mix of media and technologies. The use of media and technologies, in a training research programme for cataloguing training, can be utilised in training cataloguing students in contact classes, distance education as well as in-service training.

Abstract

Examines the necessary competencies for future cataloguers suggested by the cataloguing community. 52 ALA accredited library school programmes were analyzed to determine the strength of cataloguing within the curriculum and the degree to which the competencies are ddressed. Adequate education of future cataloguers requires an expanded view beyond traditional cataloguing courses. Recommends a curricular syndetic structure that identifies relationships among courses and links courses with the concepts and competencies necessary for organizing information

Abstract

The active learning theory provides a balance between theory and practice and requires that students be inquirers, creators and receivers of knowledge. Within library education, cataloguing, where knowledge is based around techniques and skills, would benefit greatly from the active learning concept. Shows how a laboratory environment based on the active learning theory, can be successful in teaching cataloguing and thereby better prepare students to enter the work environment

Abstract

Cataloguing departments have faced enourmous transitions during the last 20 years due to technolgical advances, changing administrative goals, and shrinking budgets. The responsibilities of professional cataloguers have greatly expanded and now include management, budgeting, and planning. Research indicates that entry-level cataloguers feel unprepared for managerial responsibilities by their graduate education. Educators and practitioners should examine the need for potential cataloguing managers and consider changing library school curricula in an effective and realistic manner to support this trend

Abstract

While the literature addresses to some degree the practitioner's view on the educational requirements of the entry level catalogue, usually in the form of the theory versus practice argument, little is written about specific qualities, skills, and abilities that the cataloguing supervisor looks for when recruiting new cataloguers. Outlines, from a library supervisor's perspective, some of those specific attributes looekd for when recruiting such staff and explains their importance in the current cataloguing environment

Abstract

This article discusses the training of catalog librarians in Germany and Austria. First, the various library careers and degrees are described; then the various types of library schools and the varying educational content of different degree programs are described, along with continuing education programs in both countries. Typical job categories in German and Austrian libraries are described in terms of the qualification levels required in each category. Since the question of whether to retain the current official cataloguing code is now a subject of intense debate (with a potentially significant impact on library education,) the main points of that debate are outlined here. Mention is made of the manuals and textbooks currently used in cataloguing courses.

Abstract

This article describes a training program used in the Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to introduce 52 public service librarians to cataloging and classification. The program utilized specific cataloging samples, and emphasized the application of AACR 2 rules, Library of Congress rule interpretations, OCLC format documents, the Dewey Decimal Classification, and Library of Congress publications emanating from the Subject Cataloging Division. During the three year training period, the public service librarians have gradually assumed responsibility for all original cataloging of monographs.

Abstract

The future creation of serial librarians prepared to meet the many challenges of serial control, management, automation, and database management requires a solid background in AACR2 rules, MARC tagging, OCLC conventions, classification and subject analysis. The future profile of a serial librarian will require determination, patience, an eye for detail and common sense to tackle the unpredictable world of serials. Continuing education is inevitable to assure the survival of a serial librarian involved in management and serial crisis.

Abstract

Despite its young age compared to similar programs in the United States, cataloging instruction in Israel has also been transformed to reflect the changes in the work done in libraries based on technological innovations and conceptions held by those involved in academia. Cataloging instruction in Israel is marked by a number of factors: * There has always been a division, carried through to today, between distinct and independent courses on various aspects of cataloging: A course on classification, a course on descriptive cataloging and a course on indexing. Even today, these courses are requirements in all of the instructional frameworks, though the length of the course has been reduced over the years * Over the years additional courses have been introduced as a reflection of the technological developments and work in the field * The majority of courses are now taught in computer labs * Switch to instruction by academics and not by librarians, workers in the field, as was customary for many decades * Focus of instruction in university departments on theory and understanding of concepts.
