Abstract |
Cataloging and bibliographic control are central to what libraries do and what library science educators teach. This study explores the major reasons for the many changes that have taken place over the years in cataloging education and how it has developed since it was established by Melvil Dewey. Other questions addressed include: Which issues have been most controversial? How have the technological advances of recent years, changes in administrative goals and declining budgets have affected and challenged cataloging education? And which problems should be considered?
