Finding Findability Blog

This morning I was getting ready to register for the ALA Annual Conference and noticed that the ALCTS President's program speaker is Peter Morville, author of Ambient Findability. (I must sheepishly admitted that this book has been sitting on my file cabinet waiting to be read for way too long.)  Anyway, I just discovered from the program notes that "he blogs at findability.org." How cool! I read his "libraries" posts on the way home from work.  Good reading for any cataloging futurists out there!

  • The focus of this blog is the future of cataloging and metadata in libraries. The new cataloging code, RDA: Resource Description and Access, is a significant issue. The future of the MARC 21 format will also be explored. ILS/OPAC's future will be touch on. Also, I hope to use this blog to collocate some of the important papers, articles, websites, etc. that deal with the future of cataloging and metadata.
