Back in January (almost five months ago) I thought I was going to take this blog in a new direction. But, you know what, I made a mistake.
I realized that the future of cataloging and metadata in libraries is a topic I'm still involved with, beguiled by, and enmeshed. My work in digital collections has me going back to my roots in cataloging frequently, practically daily. And MARC is now just MARCXML.
So, I'm back to the original focus of this blog and hopefully can make a worthy contribution to the ongoing discussion.
Now time to catch up.....
I believed the realities of cataloguing proved itself and you make a U turn. OED.
The position of cataloguers is firmly established in librarianship. In contrast to newcomers as database searchers, information specialists, or preservation administrators, cataloguers can trace their ancestry
to first service professional (Parchuck, et.al., 1989)
