TL;DR: The focus of this paper is on teaching classification and organization of information for access whether the information is in digital form, in the World Wide Web, in databases, or in print form in books on shelves.
Abstract: Classification instruction in the new millennium will be markedly different because the focus and needs of our users have altered as have information formats. Although the purpose of classifying information remains the same in the 21st century as in the 20th century - assisting users in beating relevant information - we must teach the process in such a way that the librarian or information scientist will be able to apply that knowledge to the organization of information in any format. Teaching classification during the past century was, in some cases, a practical approach for parking information in stacks. While a theoretical overlay was present, the thrust of the courses was not the organization of information but the organization of books in catalogs and on shelves. In the world of the 21st century with a variety of formats, the theoretical basis is becoming more important. The challenge for library and information science educators is to educate the classifiers to organize the formats of the future while responding to the continuing need to classify print materials in libraries. The focus of this paper is on teaching classification and organization of information for access whether the information is in digital form, in the World Wide Web, in databases, or in print form in books on shelves.

TL;DR: A review of the published literature specific to serials cataloging for 1991-1996 and the work of the ALA ALCTS Serials Section's Committee to Study Serials Cataloging were reviewed to identify trends and developments as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Summary The published literature specific to serials cataloging for 1991-1996 and the work of the ALA ALCTS Serials Section's Committee to Study Serials Cataloging were reviewed to identify trends and developments. The cataloging of electronic journals emerged as a new topic during this period. A major examination of the Library of Congress rule interpretations, undertaken for the purposes of greater clarity and cataloging simplification, brought improvements to the LCRIs for serials. The CONSER Cataloging Manual was published, providing serials catalogers with a new and very important resource. The merger of CONSER with the newly established Program for Cooperative Cataloging was announced. Format integration advanced, with a combined volume replacing the several format-specific volumes. Diverse topics were explored in the literature.

TL;DR: This paper argues that cataloging practice should return to a simpler, pre-RDA authority record to curb catalog bias and insure personal data privacy for authors and contributors in the authors' authority files.
Abstract: Neutrality is a core tenet of librarianship, although it is widely accepted that cataloging is not a neutral act. In 1876, Charles Ammi Cutter outlined the model for a library catalog. That model r...
