Title

Cataloguing and the Internet : considerations at the British Library

Source

Library review. 46(1997) no.7, S.490-499

Year

Abstract

The vast, uncontrolled, mass of data available on the Internet poses specific problems for librarians, and in particular for cataloguers. In addition to problems of scale, quality and stability of the information available electronically, the British Library has concerns peculiar to a national archive. The Electronic Media Group (EMG) within the Cataloguing Department at the British Library has been addressing some of these issues while investigating the cataloguing of works in new forms. Outlines some of the problems addressed and gives brief overviews of similar work and experiments discivered by the EMG as being conducted by other cataloguers and information scientists in this field
