130 Articles on Cataloging, Summarized A set of 130 articles on the topic of cataloging was garned from a collection of etexts and journal articles. More specifically, the Distant Reader Index was searched and a Distant Reader data set was created from the results. The data set can be temporarily seen at: https://bit.ly/3tDmjDs A generative-AI process was then applied to each article to create summaries. For details, see: https://distantreader.org/blog/summarization/ The summaries follow: How to Make an Index -- The Book-Lover's Library is an admirable guide to the best bibliographies and books of reference. Henry B. Wheatley, F.S.A. is the author of "How To Form A LIBRARY" and "What is an Index?" How to Catalogue a Library -- Henry B. Wheatley, F.S.A., is author of "How to Form a Library," "The Dedication of Books" and "The Book-Lover's Library". He has written an e-book on how to catalogue a library. Cooperative Cataloging Manual for the Use of Contributing Libraries (Book Review) -- Coop erative Cataloging Manual for Contributing Library of Congress Descriptive Cataloging Division is published by Washington, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1944. The Manual describes the procedures of the cooperative cataloging centered in the Li-                brary of Congress. A special section dedicated to the preparation of authority cards is more instructive and detailed than the corresponding section in the preliminary A.L.A. Catalog Rules. Personnel in Cataloging Departments -- Maurice Tubber wrote a paper on personnel in cataloging departments. He points out that cataloging is predominantly a feminine occupation, there is less mobility from library to library, the older members of the staff are more likely to stay fixed in their jobs, and salaries for catalogers are relatively low. Something New in Cataloging -- In recent years, more emphasis has been placed on the cost of cataloging. Competition for the time and services of the cataloger is increasing. Special requests for service come from various sources and need to be dealt with according to the needs of the department. Catalogers' and Classifiers' Yearbook No. I I , J945- (Book Review) -- The Eleventh Cata-logers, and Classifiers, Yearbook No. I I I, 1945, 96p, is a collection of essays on the history of cataloging and the new A.L.A. cataloging code. It is dedicated to the memory of C. M. Hanson, a distinguished college librarian. Microphotography and Cataloging: A Forecast -- The current problems of high unit cost of cataloging books and the mounting work loads are forcing catalogers to reorganize their routines and utilize new tech-niques. Some catalogers consider microfilm as an added burden, while others consider it as a possible new tool. Some writers advocate an extension of centraliza-tion in cataloging. Progress in Cataloging (Book Review) -- In 1946 the Library of Congress accepted a new statement of the functions and principles of descriptive cataloging. The statement and examples were then distributed to twenty-eight additional catalogers and administrators. Some of the major libraries are abandons the L.C. cataloging rules and developing more effective ones for their own purposes. The Technical Services Division in Libraries: A Symposium -- The Technical Services Division in Libraries: A Symposium was held in Atlantic City, N.J., in 1948. It is concerned with cooperation and centralization in the area of librarianship. The division covers acquisition, cataloging and classification. Toward a Sound National Program in Cataloging -- There are three periods in library history: the early period from 1876 to 1908, the middle period from 1908 to the first four decades of the 20th century, and the period since 1941. The early period falls into two parts: a pioneer period and a middle period. The first catalog was published at Yale in 1745. A.L.A. Cataloging Rules for Author and Titles Entries (Book Review) -- The new edition of A.L.A. Cat! is a welcome successor to the pre-liminary American second edition of I94I. It is improved in arrangement and organiza-tion of material. The only omission is the rule for "atlases which accompany another work". The num-bering has been altered so that there are now I58 instead of 224 rules for entry and heading. Lehrbuch der Sachkatalogisierung (Book Review) -- The subject cataloging problem is more complicated in Europe than in the U.S. because of the age of the holdings and the nature of the cataloging tradi-tions. European library systems have never been able to serve scholars as well as the masses. The Cataloging-in-Source Experiment; a Report to the Librarian of Congress by the Director of the Processing Department (Book Review) -- In 1960 the Library of Congress decided not to continue the Cataloging-in-Source system. The main reasons for the decision were the high cost to the publishers and the difficulty of adapting it to their requirements. The Brooklyn College system is probably the most effective system devised for a medium-sized university or college library situation. Production of Micro-Forms & Reading Devices for Micro-Images (Book Review) -- The Cataloging-in-Source experiment was started in May 1958. The goal was to catalog 1,000 titles and by the end of February 1959, 1,203 publications had been cataloged by the Library of Congress, 100 of which were cataloged cooperatively by the Department of Agriculture Library. After the cataloging phase more than 200 libraries were visited by the consumer reaction team. Cataloging and Classification (Book Review) -- This year is the tenth anniversary of the first publications of the Readex Microprint Corporation. Since June 1950 they have published more than 250,000 titles on Microprint cards. This catalogue lists their publi-cations by major categories and includes a five-page index to help locate inclusive sub-ject headings within these groupings. Cataloging Sampler: A Comparative and Interpretatie Guide (Book Review) -- Laura Colvin's cataloging sampler is a guide for the library profession. It was originally compiled as a manual for students at the Simmons College library school. The sampler includes 11 sections: cata-loging control records, serial processing slips, searching slips, official catalog entries, subject authority cards, monograph publications, analytical en-tries, and nonbook materials. Libraries in the World; A Long-Term Programme for the International Federation of Library Associations (Book Review) -- Laura Colvin's cataloging sampler is a guide for the library profession. It was originally compiled as a manual for students at the Simmons College library school. The sampler includes 11 sections: cata-loging control records, serial processing slips, searching slips, official catalog entries, subject authority cards, monograph publications, analytical en-tries, and nonbook materials. The Use of Overseas Cataloging in Australia with Special Reference to library of Congress Cataloging -- John Metcalfe is a university librarian at the University of New South Wales. He wrote a paper on the use of Overseas Central Cataloging in Australia with Special Reference to Library of Congress Cataloging. The BM Catalogue is still in its latest edition. The Printed Book catalogue in American Libraries: 1723-1900 (Book Review) -- The Printed Book Catalogue in American Libraries: 1723-1900. By Jim Ranz. Chicago: ALA, 1964. vii, 144 p., 144 p. Paper. The great names in American librarianship of the period are all here: Charles Jewett, William F. Poole, Charles A. Cutter, Melvil Dewey, and Wil-liam I. Fletcher. Some Prerequisites to Cooperative Cataloging -- Ralph E. Ellsworth and the Library of Congress propose a cooperative cataloging center. The center would be equipped to process efficiently and quickly current non-American mate-rials acquired by research libraries. It would cost $20,000 per annum but in return the library would receive proof slips for 40% of new titles acquired. The Higher Education Act of 1965: Background, Provisions, Administration; The Promise For Reference Librarians; Implications For Resources and Technical Services; From the Point of View of Library Administration; Guidelines for the Preparation of Grant Requests, and Implications for Library Education and ALA Divisions -- The Higher Education Act of 1965 has limited funds to implement P.L.89-329 for the fiscal year which ended on June 30, 1965. The new 1967 fiscal year has just started and appropriations are not yet available. This year the Presi-Dent's budget included recommended amounts for all titles of HEA and for all Title II. The Administration asked for a total of $35.3 million for Title II, but no money was allocated for library research. The Education Department's Li-brary Services Division of the U.S. Office of Education did a remarkable job in getting the guidelines and regulations approved and getting the necessary forms and informa-tion out to the institutions. The Ontario New Universities Library Project-A Centralized Processing Experiment Completed -- The Ontario New Universities Library Project was organized to provide five new universities and colleges with basic and identical undergraduate collections. The project was completed in three and one-half years. It cost $969,335 $93,400 $167,695 $23,170 $1,253,600. It bought 172,237 18,792 28,635 2,886 222,550 volumes for each of the five new academic libraries. The last of these libraries, Erindale, opened in September 1967. The Shared Cataloging Program; the Importance of Being Ordered -- The Shared Cataloging Program at the Library of Congress tries to assign top priority to the cataloging of items for which copy has been requested by research libraries. The process is slowed by the large number of inaccurate and unrevised cita-tions submitted by participating libraries. Many submissions have inadequate bibliographical identi-fication and create unnecessary work. The most important and desirable element in an order submitted for cataloging priority is the national bibliography. Library Automation; a State of the Art Review (Book Review) -- The papers presented at the ALA Pre-conference Institute on Library Automa-tion at San Francisco in June 1967 were used to inform ALA members of the state of the art of library automation. The MARC Project has had major developments since 1967. Paul Dunkin has written a survey of cataloging theory in the United States. Frederick Kilgour, The Ohio College and Research Libraries, cataloging U.S.A. Cataloging U.S.A. -- The papers presented at the ALA Pre-conference Institute on Library Automa­tion at San Francisco in June 1967 were used to inform ALA members of the state of the art of library automation. The MARC Project has had major developments since 1967. Paul Dunkin has written a survey of cataloging theory in the United States. Robert Rohlf wrote an article entitled "Building-Planning Implications of Automation" Introduction to Cataloging. Vol. 1: Descriptive Cataloging and an Overview of Catalogs and Cataloging (Book Review) -- The purpose of the seminar was to evaluate the several facets of MARC so that a better evaluation of the relevance of a cen-trally produced, machine-readable, catalog record can be made. Mr. Batty supports the preliminary work of the MARC I and four experimental studies done in the U.S. and cautions British librarians not to minimize it. The National Program for Acquisitions and Cataloging: Its impact on University Libraries -- The Library of Congress National Program for Acquisitions and Cataloging has been in operation since 1966. Carol F. Ishimoto conducted a fact-finding study to examine the effects of this program on the bibliographic activities in a selected group of university libraries. The study was conducted under the auspices of the Council on Library Resources Fellowship. Reader in Technical Services (Book Review) -- College and Research Libraries are reluctant to declare themselves as open storehouses and dispensers of the recorded resources of knowledge and information, regardless of format. Hugh Caine was one of the most controversial and controversial Revolutionary editors. Professor Lorenz has written a biography of Caine. Caine abandoned the patriot cause in 1776. The Time-Lag in Cataloging (Book Review) -- The Time-Lag in Cata-loging is the result of the author's doctoral dissertation at the University of Pittsburgh. It is concerned with the attempts made by the Library of Congress, Congress and American publishers to bring books together quickly. The discussions on cooperative cataloging and Dewey's clasification system, at the first Conference of the American Library Association in 1876 and at the London Conference of Li-brarians in 1877 are classics. A Century of Cooperative Programs Among Academic Libraries -- David Weber reviews the history of cooperative programs in academic libraries over the last century. The American Library Association was formed in 1876 and the Library Bureau was established as a supply house providing a major force toward standardization. Academic libraries in America were insignificant by today's perspective two hundred years ago. From Cutter to Computer: Technical Services in Academic and Research Libraries, 1876-1976 -- "A Librarian's Work" by John Fiske, assistant librarian of Harvard, describes the process of cataloging and classification in academic libraries in 1876-1976. Library heads in the past were involved in the operations of the technical services of the library. Today's librarians continue to do the things that the heads of the larger libraries did back in the 1876. Two Shared Cataloging Data Bases: A Comparison -- The Ohio College Library Center (OCLC) and Blackwell North America (BIN A) have data bases used by many libraries to produce cata-loging for English language books. BIN A has a higher percentage of hits than the OCLC data base. BIBNET System of 3M Corpora-Corporation and B/NA Technical Services are the two most common cataloging data bases. A Practical Approach to Serials Cataloging (Book Review) -- Townley has almost twenty years of experience designing and implementing in-formation retrieval systems. Her book is a practical guide on how to design and implement an information retrieval system for a particular organization. It's refreshing to read someone who understands that systems analysis is very subjec-tive and involves both technique and flair. Film Cataloging (Book Review) -- The collection of Chinese local history, collectanea, and rare books at the Library of Congress has grown steadily since the 1970s. The collection was the result of an exchange pro-gram between the United States and China. The Chinese collection contained 1,622 items as of 1942. The Gest Oriental Library has 24,024 volumes of Chinese rare books. The Preservation and Restoration of Sound Recordings (Book Review) -- The book is valuable for avoiding expensive, time-consuming errors and for generating new ideas, but it does have drawbacks. The book is written for an audience with a moderate to high degree of knowledge about film archives and cataloging. The bibliography is extensive, but only one addition to the selected bibliography has been made since the manuscript was copyrighted in 1975. The Nature and Future of the Catalog: Proceedings of the ALA's Information Science and Automation Division's 1975 and 1977 Institutes on the Catalog (Book Review) -- Librarians are faced with prospects for 1981-the-the closing of the libraries. The guide is general, organized like a shopping list of topics with a brief description or list of things to remember. The discussion of the manage-cation process is abbreviated. The information about current ven-dors and services will become outdated. The Availability of Cataloging Copy in the OCLC Data Base -- Paul Metz and John Espley conducted a study on the OCLC data base to determine the effectiveness of cataloging data and to optimize the timing of searches for cataloging copy for various categories of materials. Paul Metz is acting user services librarian at Carol M. Newman Li-Prayer, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University of Virginia, Blacksburg. Library of Congress Cataloging Service, with a Comprehensive Subject Index (Book Review) -- George Lowry's A Searcher's Manual and Ted Grieder's Acquisitions: Where, What, and How are useful sources of information on compiling a search manual. Martha Willett's Cornell's search manual is a good example of a de-tailed search manual for a large university library. Jennifer Cargill and Brian Alley have written a study on approval plans for librarians. Introduction to Cataloging and Classification (Book Review) -- In the text and captions are haphazardly capitalized and some illustrations are ill-chosen. Reviewing a text on cataloging and classification could be an ordeal, but it can be handled reasonably if the usual method of reading cover to cover is not folied. Cataloging and Classification Practices in Community College Libraries -- As community college libraries enter the 1980s their collections are still traditionally organized. Most audiovisual materials are still housed in closed-access areas. Change to AACR2 seems to be accepted, but librarians are still undecided about participating in computerized cataloging networks. Doris Cruger Dale is a professor at Southern Illi-nois University, Carbondale. Introduction to Cataloging and Classification with 58 Exhibits; Sample cataloguing Forms: Illustrations of Solutions to Problems of Description (Book Review) -- Seminar on AACR2, the second edition of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, was held at the April 9th seminar at the University of Nottingham. The opening paper praises the new code for its clear principles and international outlook and downplays its economic side effects. The quality of the papers dealing with specific material types is good, but they only skim the surface of the issues to be examined. Cataloging of Audiovisual Materials (Book Review) -- Olson, Nancy B. and Nitecki, Nutana A. are writing a guide for media cataloging. Macmillan is coming to college and research libraries in the fall. Get the complete story on LINX and DATALINX. LC and AACR2: An Album of Cataloging Examples Arranged by Rule Number; Cataloging Government Documents: A Manual of Interpretation for AACR2 (Book Review) -- In Martin's book, College and Research Libraries, there are few management principles that can be applied blindly by libraries, but there are lessons that may be exploited. Martin's lack of understanding of the nature and function of academic libraries is a major shortcoming. Born-Again Cataloging in the Online Networks -- Ruth Hafter wrote a case study on online cataloging as part of her doctoral research at the University of California. It was presented at the ACRL Fourth National Conference in Baltimore, April 9-12, 1986. Six academic libraries were the sites for the case study. Museum Archives: An Introduction (Book Review) -- Pauline A. Cochrane is the author of five books and numerous articles in information sci-ence, library automation, and library education. She is also the deputy archivist at the Smithsonian. She wrote an article in Technology and Libraries (June 1985) entitled "Preparing for the Use of Classification in Online Cataloging Systems" Foundations of Cataloging (Book Review) -- Museum Archives: An Introduction is a starting point for those interested in the subject. Foundations of Cataloging: A Source is a chronologically arranged collection of philosophical essays written from 1841 to 1983 recounts the history of mod­ern cataloging. Cataloging U.S. Depository Materials: A Reevaluation -- Alice Harrison Bahr is project librarian for online systems at the libraries at Cedar Crest and Muhlenberg Colleges, Allentown, Pennsylvania 18104 and College & Research Libraries, 18587. She reviews previous arguments and proposes guidelines for reevaluating current U.S. depository cataloging policies and practices. Dissertations: A Study of the Scholar's Approach -- Joan M. Repp and Cliff Glaviano are authors of Dissertations: A Study of the Scholar's Approach at College and Research Libraries. Four academic libraries in Ohio participated in a study exploring how researchers access locally produced dissertations. The dissertation is a unique resource for scholarly information that is not available in its origi-nal form through established channels. The Future of the Research Library -- Fremont Rider is librarian of Wesleyan University and author of The Scholar and the Future of the Research Library. He is concerned about the growth of research libraries and the cost of maintaining them. He believes interlibrary cooperation is the only solution to this problem. The Birth of a Network: The Brazilian Struggle -- There is a national plan for university libraries in Brazil. It recommends a center for cooperative cataloging, a standard format for computerized cataloging and development of an online network of libraries. Librarians in Brazil are seeking to link university libraries via a co-operative cataloging network. Brazil is the world's fifth largest country and the sixth largest in population with 140 million people. The economy of Brazil is developing rapidly. Letters -- George Harris' essay "Historic Cataloging Costs, Issues, and Trends" was published in the January 1989 issue of Library Quarterly. He reports on changes in the length and complexity of LC cataloging copy between 1956 and 1981. The graph shows the relationship between increases in staff time and the increase in useful and sought access points. Yesterday's Heresy - Today's Orthodoxy: An Essay on the Changing Face of Descriptive Cataloging -- Michael Connan is Dean of Library Services at California State University, Fresno, California 93740. He is concerned with the changes in descriptive cataloging of the Anglo-American tradition in the last 50 years. The essay is part of a festschrift in honour of Peter Lewis, the Director-General of the Bibliographic Services Division of the British Library. Resource Sharing or Cost Shifting? The Unequal Burden of Cooperative Cataloging and ILL in Network -- Charles B. Lowry is Director of Libraries at the University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas 76019. He wrote a paper on the Cost of Cooperation in Aca-demic and Research Libraries at a conference held in Denton, Texas, May 11, 1988. Cataloging Heresy: Challenging the Standard Bibliographic Product (Book Review) -- "Cataloging Heresy: Challenging the Stan-dard Bibliographic Product" is an edited volume of papers from the 1991 Congress for Librarians at St. John's University. It provides a frame-work for library school students and librarians to think critically about cataloging data in standard bibliographic records. Telecommuting for Original Cataloging at the Michigan State University Libraries -- Telecommuting has become a popular option in recent years for workers in the business world seeking relief from long commutes and workplace distractions. Working conditions in library technical services departments can be a problem for catalogers in need of a quiet work environment. Technological advances in library applications have made telecommuting in library work increasingly attractive. The Changing Nature of Jobs: A Paraprofessional Time Series -- Carol P. Johnson is Director of Libraries and Audiovisual Services at the College of St. Catherine Library, St. Paul, Minnesota. She used the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) to examine the job descriptions of three paraprofessional jobs in an academic library technical services depart-imentalment at a small, private liberal arts college in 1975, 1981 and 1990. A Survey on the Outsourcing of Cataloging in Academic Libraries -- Katherine A. Libby and Dana M. Caudle conducted a survey on the outsourcing of cataloging in academic libraries. The results show that outsourcing is not a strong trend, but that libraries which outsourced were generally pleased with the results. An Empirical Examination of Subject Headings for Women’s Studies Core Materials -- Kristin H. Gerhard, Mila C. Su and Charlotte C. Rubens conducted an empirical study on subject headings for Women’s Studies core works. They found a number of problems with the assignment of headings to core works in the field. They also found some fruitful areas for further research. Outsourcing Library Technical Services Operations: Practices in Academic, Public, and Special Libraries. Eds. Karen A. Wilson and Marylou Colver. Chicago: ALA, 1997. 239p. $38 ($34.20 ALA members) (ISBN 0-8389-0703-2). LC 97-22901. -- The best way to do content de-scription would be to describe informa­tive potentials. Hjørland's proposal is an addition to the small repertory of serious alternative approaches to con­tent description and deserves to be re-examined. Catalogers in Academic Libraries: Their Evolving and Expanding Roles -- Lois Buttlar and Rajinder Garcha are catalogers in academic libraries who belong to ALA’s Technical Services Division. They were surveyed to find out how their job functions have changed over the past ten years. 271 respondents indicated a change from print to electronic formats, involvement of nonprofessionals in higher levels of cataloging, a trend toward outsourcing, and more cataloging by professional librarians. Paraprofessional Catalogers in ARL Libraries -- Sever Bordeianu and Virginia Seiser conducted a survey of ARL member libraries to identify the minimum education and experience required of paraprofessional cata­logers. The majority of surveyed libraries use para­professionals to catalog various types of materials. The educational expectations for copy catalogers are lower than those for original cata-logers and training takes place on the job. The University of New Mexico has successful staff members with little education but high aptitude. A Common Ground: Communication and Alliance between Cataloguer and Curator for Improved Access to Rare Books and Special Collections -- Elaine Beckley Bradshaw and Stephen C. Wagner discuss the benefits of a cataloger-curator alliance for improved access to rare books and special collections at the University of Oklahoma Law Library. They also discuss the issues over which the alliance has little control. Bringing Federal Documents to the Forefront for Library Users: Selective Cataloging Using an OPAC -- Victor T. Oliva reviews the value of federal depository document titles.

The case study describes the development of the British National Electronic Library for Health (NeLH) and the Lombard Interuniversity Consortium for Automated Processing (CILEA) in Italy. The presentation on the use of ISSN-based identifiers is about metadata projects in progress. Planning an Authority Control Project at a Medium-sized University Library -- Authority control is a vital part of providing students and faculty with adequate access to collections in university libraries. Small and medium-sized university libraries find it challenging to meet rising user expectations and provide adequate access in an online environment. Authority control consists of the following elements: distinguishing names, showing relationships, documenta­tion of this information and creating an authority record. Bade, David.

It is a discussion on the future of library cataloging. Critique and Design on the Cost of Cataloging -- There is a call to re-consider cataloging. It concerns the theory of cataloging, its efficiency and its cost. It is not fair to place too much stress on the share of responsibility on the librarian or catalog department. It's the cataloger's problem. Cataloging backlogs: Perennials, seaweeds, or others? -- Junli Diao is an assistant professor and head of cataloging and serials at York College-CUNY. He started his substitute position as the head of the cataloging at the York College Library-City Uni-versity of New York in March 2016.
