You'll want to read this uber-excellent article by Alan Danskin, Manager Data Quality & Authority Control, British Library, "Tomorrow never knows": the end of cataloguing? [PDF]
You know I've been reading all this stuff. And I can say, hands down, this is the best summary of all the issues involved in the future of cataloging debate. Hence the "uber." So, go read (when you're not too busy cataloging) and let me know what you think. (By the way, this article was also published in the most recent issue of the IFLA Journal.)
