  • Breaking barriers between old practices and new demands : the price of hesitation
    Žumer, Maja, 1953- ...
    In recent years, cataloguing has been going through a number of quite fundamental changes. This paper offers an evaluation of what the cataloguing community has accomplished so far and a suggestion ... of what it ought to focus on in the future. Catalogues should provide users with a more efficient way of accessing and using information as libraries have the tools to expose users to a broader context that is absent from the catalogues today. We do have FRBR(as well as FRAD and FRSAD) which could and should be used as the background for cataloguing, as indicated by the findings in two of our studies. Some cataloguing codes based on these documents, as well as on the International Cataloguing Principles, have been developed so far (perhaps most importantly RDA) and they present an important step forward. However, we can identify several key issues that the library community needs to focus on in order to complete the process: harmonisation (of various initiatives); frbrisation, identification and presentation. For each of these areas, the purpose of cataloguing needs to be kept in the centre and the decisions must be based on user studies, which have been sorely lacking so far. The library community has been too slow in this transformation, which is why these issues must be quickly and efficiently resolved if libraries wish to retain their role and importance in today's information world.
