TL;DR: Thorough examination of the objectives and principles of all aspects of cataloging in the computer age is suggested, followed by subsequent development of a new type of "enhanced" code which takes advantage of considerable work done by many ALA and other units in the area of computer-aided retrieval.
Abstract: Examination of selected rules of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition, 1988 revision, (AACR2) shows that the rules are oriented towards a paper-based catalog and are, at least to some extent, not suitable for a computer environment. Thorough examination of the objectives and principles of all aspects of cataloging in the computer age is suggested, followed by subsequent development of a new type of "enhanced" code which takes advantage of considerable work done by many ALA and other units in the area of computer-aided retrieval. This code should deal with traditional catalog code questions as well a subject retrieval, catalog design, and computer capabilities. Specific suggestions are made for each section of the proposed code.

TL;DR: The history of descriptive cataloging practices and MARC coding for video games and the special problems presented by Library of Congress subject heading and uniform title practice are described.
Abstract: Cataloging practices for video games have been in flux since the late 1970s, often lagging behind technological developments. This article describes the history of descriptive cataloging practices and MARC coding for video games. Also discussed are the special problems presented by Library of Congress subject heading and uniform title practice, which were developed for book cataloging rather than for the cataloging of video games themselves.

TL;DR: The present bibliography grew out of a need to provide a basic working list for participants in a conference held at the University of California, Davis in April of 1988, originally consisting of publications of conference participants, it grew from a specialized working document into a more comprehensive monograph bibliography, at first with a simple snowball method; and subsequently, with the aid of two major bibliographic utilities as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The present bibliography grew out of a need to provide a basic working list for participants in a conference held at the University of California, Davis in April of 1988. Originally consisting of publications of conference participants, it grew from a specialized working document into a more comprehensive monograph bibliography, at first with a simple snowball method; and subsequently, with the aid of two major bibliographic utilities: the University of California's system-wide online catalog (Melvyl), and RLIN (the cataloging database of the Research Libraries Group).

TL;DR: While the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition has served well for all kinds of new information packages as they have been developed since the inception of AACR2 in 1978, the Internet is presenting challenges that are not as readily soluble.
Abstract: While the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition(AACR2) has served well for all kinds of new information packages as they have been developed since the inception of AACR2 in 1978, the Internet is presenting challenges that are not as readily soluble. Five of the major problems for catalogers are discussed: What is an information package? What is a chief source of information? What is a new edition? Are all Internet resources “published”? Why a “Rule of 3”? Some issues and problems are discussed and some recommendations are made.
