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

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

Abstract

What follows are my memories of the events, starting almost five decades ago, that led to the International Standard for Bibliographic Description (ISBD)-still the most successful and widely used international cataloging standard in history. Many of the documents of the time were little more than ephemera (working papers and the like) and some are not now available to me. I have checked my recollections in all the documents to which I have access and apologize in advance for any errors of time or place. I also apologize for the, alas, unavoidable, given the nature of the essay, many repetitions of the words "I" and "me."

Abstract

Examines the achievements in bibliographic control of the last thirty years and the strides made toward Universal Bibliographic Control. Discusses the intended and unintended effects of three standards-the MARC format, ISBD, and AACR. Analyzes the types of resources in cyberspace to be organized and their similarities to and differences from documents librarians already know. Suggests strategies for solving the seemingly insoluble problems of cataloging the Internet and predicts how metadata will evolve.

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

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

Argues that the RDA was an unnecessary waste of time and money. The few improvements it makes in catalogue records could have been accomplished far more cheaply, promptly, and easily by modifying AACR2. Argues that RDA's abandonment of the ISBD is a retrograde and damaging step.
