The quest to evolve bibliographic control to an equal or greater
standing within the current information environment is on-going. As
information organizers we are working in a time where information
and communication technology (ICT) has pushed our status quo to its
limits and where innovation often needs the pressure of do or die
in order to get started. The year 2010 was designated as the Year
of Cataloging Research and we made progress on studying the
challenges facing metadata and information organization practices.
However, one year of research is merely a drop in the bucket,
especially given the results of the Resource and Description and
Access (RDA) National Test and the Library of Congress' decision to
investigate the possibility of transitioning the MARC21 format.
This book addresses how information professionals can create a
functional environment in which we move beyond just representing
information resources and into an environment that both represents
and connects at a deeper level. Most importantly, it offers insight
on transitioning into new communities of practice and awareness by
reassessing our purpose, re-charting our efforts, reasserting our
expertise in the areas that information organizer have
traditionally claimed but are losing due to stagnation and lack of
vision. This book was published as a double special issue of the
Journal of Library Metadata.
