Next-generation catalogs;Abstract:
Libraries have an enormous set of opportunities available to them. It is fashionable to do library work. It is just that the work does not necessarily manifest through books, but rather the content of books and journals and images and data sets, etc. Moreover, it is not about tried-and-true library techniques (MARC, Library of Congress Subject Headings, Boolean logic, etc.) Instead it is about using the methods and technologies of the times. It is not the "what" of librarianship that needs to change. It is the methods.Code4Lib 2008 - Glenda's Notes

Background reading for understanding the development of the idea behind WorldCat Selection Services. Author wrote article while he was a Senior VP and Head Bibliographer at YBP. He now holds the same position with Coutts which probably explains why Coutts is the first among the big book vendors to sign on to Worldcat Selection. Nardini also recently represented the book vendor view at the 3rd meeting of the Working Group for the Future of Bibliographic Control.Serials and multiple versions, or the inexorable trend toward work-level displays

http://www.ala.org/alcts/lrtsAbstract:
The proliferation of multiple versions for bibliographic works presents numerous challenges to the cataloger and, by extension, to the catalog user. Fifteen years after the Multiple Versions Forum held in Airlie, Virginia, online public access catalog (OPAC) users continue to grapple with confusing displays representing numerous serial manifestations (i.e., versions) resulting from the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules’ (AACR2) cardinal principle (Rule 0.24). Two initiatives offer hope for more coherent OPAC displays in light of a renewed focus upon user needs: the ongoing revision of AACR2, and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions’ Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) model. A third potential tool for improving OPAC displays exists within a series of standards that have developed to parallel library needs, and today offer a robust communications medium: the MARC 21 authority, bibliographic, and holdings formats. This paper summarizes the challenges posed by multiple versions and presents an analysis of current and emerging solutions.Notes:
