La LC fusionne ses services d'acquisitions et de catalographie

LC Merges Acquisition and Cataloging
(source: Library Journal)

- Effort will speed processing time
- Will help LC respond to changes in bibliographic control
- New division chiefs named

The Library of Congress (LC) announced today it has merged its Acquisition and Cataloging departments in order both to speed processing time and enhance the physical security of the collections. Now books will go to one division instead of several for centralized processing.
"The new organizational structure--the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate (ABA),” said ABA Director Beacher Wiggins in a news release, “fully merges acquisitions and cataloging functions, streamlines workflows and deploys staff to take advantage of their unique language and subject skills." Now digital materials will be processed along with those in other formats.

Catalo et RDA

Facing Forward: The Challenges Facing Cataloging and Catalogers
(source: Diane Hillmann, 17/10/08 / via The FRBR Blog)

"This presentation discusses issues surrounding the implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA) in libraries. It also covers the work done by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative/RDA Task Group with provisional forms of RDA Elements, Roles and Vocabularies, how these relate to existing AACR2-MARC21 based applications, and how the library community might use metadata in a more forward-looking way."

Comment l'évolution du monde de l'information influence les questions de catalo

The Changing Landscape of Contemporary Cataloging
(source: Sue Ann Gardner, University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

"Intended to contribute to the current dialogue about how the emerging information environment is impacting cataloging issues, this survey paper covers a broad range of topics, such as how search engines compare with integrated library systems, and includes some thoughts on how cataloging processes may evolve to continue to remain relevant. The author suggests that there is a need for significant changes in integrated library system interfaces and infrastructures as well as some changes in cataloging practice. The value of descriptive vs. nondescriptive elements in the catalog record and some pros and cons of the MARC format are covered."

Introduction à RDA

RDA: a cataloguing code for the 21st century
(source: CILIP)

Les règles de catalogage (AACR2) vont probablement être remplacées par RDA (Resource Description and Access), fin 2009. Dans cet article, l'auteur passe en revue les modifications qui vont être apportées.

"With the decision to develop a new code, the following features were defined for RDA:
- rules that are easy to use and apply, designed for an online, networked environment
- effective bibliographic control for all types of media
- a logical structure based on internationally agreed principles (e.g. FRBR)
- compatible with other standards, and of use beyond the library community.
"
