Abstract:

The library catalogue has changed over the years from a card catalogue to its electronic successor, the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), to what is called the next-generation library catalogue, sometimes referred to as the library 2.0 catalogue or â€˜the third-generation catalogueâ€™. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current state of catalogues in academic libraries in Kenya and to evaluate whether these libraries have incorporated features of the next-generation catalogues in their OPACs. The study applied a checklist of features commonly identified as characteristics of

Walter Benjamin hatte eine enge Beziehung zu Katalogen: Er nutzte die Findhilfsmittel öffentlicher Bibliotheken, er studierte Auktionsverzeichnisse, er besprach Ausstellungskataloge. Als Archivar seiner eigenen Arbeit fertigte er Kataloge seiner Texte, Projekte, Briefschaften und Buchbestände an. Der Aufsatz zeigt, dass Kataloge nicht nur eine Voraussetzung von Benjamins Arbeit waren, sondern dass sein Schreiben katalogisch ist – als lebendig gewordene Durchdringung seiner Materialsammlungen.

In their auction catalogues booksellers often mixed their own stock in with private libraries.

Abstract:

The number of North American art museums with a presence on the internet has more than doubled since 1999. This is not surprising given the power of new media to transform the experiences that museum visitors have with our cultural institutions. Every year museums attract thousands of visitors to view, both in person and online, their specialized collections and unique exhibitions. Developing in tandem with these resources and largely unfamiliar to the general, museum-going public, the libraries and archives of these institutions have contributed to the research mission, educational programmin

Experiences and ideas concerning the organisation of the Library and its catalogue could be of benefit for librarians willing to improve the qual

Abstract:

This survey sought to investigate how the transition to the new cataloging standard, Resource Description and Access (RDA), has been handled in one hundred of the largest US public libraries, specifically examining whether catalogers believe that some of RDA’s major goals have been met, and how some of the anticipated impacts of RDA implementation have been handled. A large majority of these libraries have implemented RDA for original cataloging, but respondents also generally believe that RDA has failed to meet some of its most important goals, primarily ease of use and cost-effectiveness.
