Title

Outsourcing the catalog department : a mediation inspired by the business and library literature

Source

Journal of academic librarianship. 22(1996) no.1, S.33-43

Year

1996

Abstract

Draws on parallels between outsourcing in business and in libraries to examine the difficulties and implications of outsourcing the catalogue department. Examines why cataloguing, in particular, has received outsourcing attention. 2 major reasons emerge: cataloguing is a non core activity, and catalogue departments are troublesome
