TL;DR: The paper examines the value for retrieval of collecting authors' names, identifying authors' roles, collocating works and versions, and providing subject access through classification and controlled vocabularies for digital resources available through the World Wide Web.
Abstract: This paper considers the relevance of Charles Ami Cutter's principles of bibliographic access to the uiniverse of Internet accessible digital objects and explores new methods for applying these principles in the context of new information technologies. The paper examines the value for retrieval of collecting authors' names, identifying authors' roles, collocating works and versions, and providing subject access through classification and controlled vocabularies for digital resources available through the World Wide Web. THe authors identify emerging techniques and technologies that can be used in lieu of or as a supplement to traditional cataloging to achieve these functions in organizing access to Internet resources

TL;DR: The progress made so far in the areas of online information retrieval, cataloguing, abstracting, reference work, and indexing and classification are reviewed.
Abstract: Do expert systems have a place in the Library and Information Services (LIS) industry? This paper reviews the progress made so far in the areas of online information retrieval, cataloguing, abstracting, reference work, and indexing and classification. Although largely of an experimental nature, the work undertaken so far will surely pay dividends in the future, given the huge advances in computing expected in the next decade. Thus LIS professionals can look forward to the time when, assuming the more mundane tasks are done by expert systems, they will be able to concentrate on the more interesting aspects of their work and spend more time with the public they serve.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental telecommuting program for original cataloging in a university library was developed and tested based on a successful program for indexers at the National Agriculture Library.
Abstract: Telecommuting has become a popular option in recent years for workers in the business world seeking relieffrom lengthy, stressful commutes and workplace distractions. Working conditions in library technical services departments can be a problem for catalogers in need ofa quiet work environment. As technological advances continue to influence library cataloging applications, creating cataloging records from work sites outside the library is an attractive option for addressing library work environment concerns. Based on a successful program for indexers at the National Agriculture Library, a proposalfor an experimental telecommuting program for original cataloging in a university library was developed and tested.

TL;DR: Technical service personnel who establish policies with the information needed to establish standards for copy cataloging RDA records, particularly monographs are provided.
Abstract: The Library of Congress and other national libraries will adopt Resource Description and Access (RDA) on March 31, 2013, but RDA is already an established cataloging code. Copy catalogers are likely to encounter RDA records in the near future, and need local standards to guide their work. This article provides technical service personnel who establish policies with the information needed to establish standards for copy cataloging RDA records, particularly monographs. An example of one successful standard, that of Kent State University Libraries, is provided for readers to adopt or adapt.
