Description

Computer technology together with political and economic pressures for interlibrary cooperation are having far-reaching effects on online systems for bibliographic control. This work is a compendium of the current thought on how catalogs of the future can best take advantage of machine capabilities in a networking environment. The Conceptual Foundations of Descriptive Cataloging comprises the proceedings of a conference of the same name held at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1987. The conference stimulated visionary thinking about the future direction of systems for the bibliographic control of information, particularly the future of those systems applying the Anglo-American codes for descriptive cataloging. Key Features * The general principles underlying the design of bibliographic databases * The shape of bibliographic databases in the forseeable future * The impact of technology on catalogs and catalog codes * Design objectives for online catalogs * Standardization and integration in bibliographic control * Access to bibliographic information in the online age Review "Practitioners, library school faculty, and bibliographic center personnel have contributed a good mix to this worthwhile volume." --CATALOGING AND CLASSIFICATION QUARTERLY
