TL;DR: The Multimedia Center at the University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries partnered with students to establish a popular DVD collection in 2001 as mentioned in this paper, and changes in acquisitions, cataloging, processing, shelving, and access were required.
Abstract: Purpose – This paper was written to aid academic libraries that may be considering adding collections of popular culture items to their collections. The Multimedia Center at the University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries partnered with students to establish a popular DVD collection in 2001. Changes in acquisitions, cataloging, processing, shelving, and access were required. A review of the current literature helps make a compelling story for why these items add value to the libraries' collections and how they contribute to the educational mission of the university.Design/methodology/approach – Changes that were made to provide improved access to a high circulation collection are discussed. Current literature on popular culture collections in academic libraries, media literacy, and the unique creation of knowledge by the current generation of college students is used to provide a basis for supporting these incongruous collections.Findings – The generation of students who have grown up with the intern...

TL;DR: The ambiguous nature of both book reviews and cataloging records can make it difficult for librarians to detect such books as discussed by the authors, and the best way to serve patrons is through the careful selection of works for collections whose breadth and depth will allow patrons to discover inconsistencies and disputed writings on their own.
Abstract: Disputed or even fraudulent works of history can make their way onto library shelves; patrons who find them there are likely to regard them as true. Because historical fabrications can be hard to identify, they are sometimes widely owned, nationally or regionally. The ambiguous nature of both book reviews and cataloging records can make it difficult for librarians to detect such books. To try to find and label all of them is impractical; the best way to serve patrons is through the careful selection of works for collections whose breadth and depth will allow patrons to discover inconsistencies and disputed writings on their own.

TL;DR: Why Lubetzky's principles have not so far been carried out in catalogs are discussed, including the delusion that artificial intelligence can replace human intervention, poor OPAC system design, and the complex system of shared cataloging.
Abstract: Discusses Lubetzky's insight that book and work coincide only when a work has been published in only one edition. Discusses the kinds of changes that create new manifestations, new expressions and new works, with specific discussion of works of photography, works intended for performance (music, dramatico-musical works, musical performances involving improvisation, and dance), texts with illustrations, music with words, works produced in stages (moving image works), revised editions, spatial data, serials, and interactive multimedia. Suggests that it might be possible to analyze pure categories of content such that a change from one category to another automatically results in the creation of a new work. Discusses the problem of how to name a work with a demonstration of how valuable it can be to name a work using author and title in conjunction (main entry). Discusses why Lubetzky's principles have not so far been carried out in our catalogs, including the delusion that artificial intelligence can replace human intervention, poor OPAC system design, and our complex system of shared cataloging.
