Title

Cataloger's role in catalog construction : a modest proposal

Source

Library software review. 15(1996) no.2, S.68-71

Abstract

During most of this century, cataloguers have constructed catalogues using a generally accepted configuration of data as exemplified by the unit card. This configuration was later codified as ISBD. Skill in using a catalogue was generally transferable from one card catalogue to another. With the creation of OPACs, catalogue construction passed from the hands of cataloguers to system designers. Commonality of search techniques, and consistent display of bibliographic data vanished. Cataloguers should resume their historic role in catalogue construction and restore a minimum display of core bibliographic data to library catalogues
