This collection of critical and scholarly essays addresses the
state of cataloging in the world of librarianship. The
contributors, including Sanford Berman, Thomas Mann, and numerous
front-line library workers, address topics ranging from criticisms
of the state of the profession and traditional Library of Congress
cataloging to methods of making cataloging more inclusive and
helpful to library users. Other essay topics include historical
overviews of cataloging practices and the literature they generate,
first-person discussions of library workers' experiences with
cataloging or metadata work, and the implications behind what
materials get cataloged, who catalogs them, and how. Several essays
provide a critical overview of innovative cataloging practices and
the ways that such practices have been successfully integrated in
many of the nation's leading libraries.
