Title
Cataloguing is a prime number

American libraries. 27(1996) no.5, S.47-48,50

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
