Title

¬The consequences of new technologies in classification and subject cataloguing in third world countries : the technological gap

Abstract

Since many nations rely upon subject headings and classification numbers from cataloguing agencies in developed countries, changes requiring computers would hinder subject access in Thrid World areas which lack high technology. New computer-supported systems such as PRECIS will probably take hold only in languages and countries where a subject analysis system does not already exist. For the traditional card catalogue-based subject access system, computer support may lead to more frequent changes in headings, less pre-coordinated structure, and the assignement of more terms per document. Third world countires may have difficulty in adapting to the developments. Classification, especially since it more easily crosses linguistc boundaries, may become to a greater degree the preferred means of subject access in Third World nations. During the transition, IFLA can serve as a forum for developing nations to make their needs known to the providers of bibliographic data
