Title

Catalogers in academic libraries : their evolving and expanding roles

Source

College and research libraries. 59(1998) no.4, S.311-321

Abstract

Reports results of a questionnaire survey of cataloguers in academic libraries, belonging to the ALA, Technical Services division, to determine how their job functions have changed over the previous 10 years. The 271 respondents compiled a questionnaire listing 67 traditional and emerging activities in which academic library cataloguers are involved, including: the change from print to electronic formats; involvement of non professional library staff in higher levels of cataloguing; the trend towards outsourcing (contracting out), particularly copy cataloguing and foreign language materials; and increasing involvement with specialized items, audiovisual materials and digital materials. Professional librarians now use their expertise to edit problematic records, engage in managerial tasks, catalogue and provide authority control of Internet resources, do Internet training or Web site design and use HTML. Cataloguers are increasingly involved in the former domain of systems librarians
