Title

Catalogers must change! : surviving between the rock and the hard place

Abstract

For at least 100 years, cataloguers have been committed to creating perfect bibliographic records of their local resources for their local users. With the advent of automation, shared cataloguing and electronic remote resources, their task has been made much more complex as their product has become universally available and visible; and, contrary to earlier naive expectations, much more expensive. As a profession, they survived automation and adapted, but now contracting out (outsourcing) has become a new threat to their very existence, or at least to their numbers working at local libraries. Based on a great number of calls for change in the library literature, appeals to cataloguers to make a concerted effort to change the way they do things as their product is still essential for good library service
