Abstract

As an exercise in pondering cataloging in the networked environment ("networked environment" meaning electronic information sources interconnected through the Internet), this article compares traditional cataloging and Web-based description of two topics-the concept of "green cards" and a recent nonfiction work. This involves, first, outlining intellectual access issues as they apply to reference services today ("intellectual access" meaning the formal or informal description of a work for purposes of its discovery by others). Following this is an outline of key cataloging issues, per Sanford Berman, and corresponding issues in Web-based intellectual access. Ways that catalogers and public service librarians can address these issues conclude the article.

Excerpted from "Issues of Intellectual Access in Our Electronic Age," with Elliott Shore (Director of Libraries, Bryn Mawr College) and Sanford Berman (Chief Cataloger, Hennepin County Library, Minnesota) a presentation of the Rutgers University SCILS Professional Development Program, April 1996.
