TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the various issues and challenges arising from e-book cataloguing experienced at the University of Windsor's Leddy Library and the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL).
Abstract: This paper explores the various issues and challenges arising from e-book cataloguing experienced at the University of Windsor’s Leddy Library and the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL). This discussion uses an evidence -based approach to identify and resolve issues relevant to academic libraries as well as to consortia. With the ever rising popularity of e-books within academic libraries, cataloguing librarians are actively seeking more effective methods of managing this new electronic medium, including the development of new cataloguing policies and procedures. This paper will explore the various issues and challenges surrounding e-book cataloguing and processing within academic libraries, and will identify new policies and procedures that may be used to effectively assist in e-book management.

TL;DR: The purpose is to alert library managers to some experiments underway and to help them conceptualize new methods for defining, planning, and leading the e-resource description process under moderate to severe time and staffing constraints.
Abstract: This paper explores the potential for and progress of a gradual transition from a highly centralized model for cataloging to an iterative, collaborative, and broadly distributed model for electronic resource description. The purpose is to alert library managers to some experiments underway and to help them conceptualize new methods for defining, planning, and leading the e-resource description process under moderate to severe time and staffing constraints. The first section compares catalogs and bibliographies. The second section discusses the influence of the Internet and licensed electronic resources, including working assumptions for bibliographic control and typical progress of a new electronic resource. The third section addresses accommodations in ARL (Association of Research Libraries) libraries, including discovery of sample networked resources in seven ARLs. The fourth section presents a new model for resource description. The fifth section describes the following selected experimental models: (1) CORC (Cooperative Online Resource Catalog) at Brown University (Rhode Island) and Cornell University (New York)--resource descriptions from collection development, reference, and cataloging; (2) the National Agricultural Library--resource descriptions from authors; (3) Yale University (Connecticut) and the record set for EBSCO Academic Search Elite--resource descriptions from vendors; and (4) the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and the Rochester Institute of Technology--resource descriptions from information technology staff.

TL;DR: It is argued that the development and application of Mâori subject headings is directly related to the natural order that is pivotal to a Māori worldview and explored in the context of the construction of Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku.
Abstract: Cataloging and classification provide intellectual access for organizing resources in libraries. In New Zealand, bibliographic control is largely through the application of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). LCSH provide a sense of context and order. In Indigenous frameworks this sense of order can be found in the link between epistemology and knowledge structure. This article argues that the development and application of Māori subject headings is directly related to the natural order that is pivotal to a Māori worldview. The impact of this worldview and its associated values are explored in the context of the construction of Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku.

TL;DR: The Curriculum Committee of the Special Interest Group/Education Information Science of ASIS is charged with the responsibility for determining the scope and characteristics of information science programs in the U.S. and Canada in terms of curriculum developments and course offerings as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Curriculum Committee of the Special Interest Group/Education Information Science of ASIS is charged with the responsibility for determining the scope and characteristics of information science programs in the U.S. & Canada in terms of curriculum developments and course offerings. To fulfil this responsibility, questionnaires were developed to elicit reliable information concerning courses being offered relating to information storage and retrieval, information science and/or documentation. The data requested included course levels, pre- and post-requisite courses, textbooks used, topics covered, frequency with which offered, etc. Responses were received from 45 schools, providing information about 185 courses and 242 topics. Using several methods of clustering the data, it was difficult to arrive at firm results, because of the diversity and scatter of the topics included in this field. It was therefore decided to hold a workshop of experts which would examine the validity of the questionnaire results. This workshop, using the Delphi technique to arrive at consensus, was held at the University of Pittsburgh on September 21–23, 1970. Sixteen specialists in the field representing universities, industry and government were brought together to participate. Consensus was reached in identifying nine factors which contribute to the curriculum in information science and seven courses which constitute the core for the Master's program. The topics to be included in each of these courses were also isolated. The 9 factors are: Psychology/Behavioral Science, Language/Linguistics, Management, Statistics, Library Science, Systems, Mathematics, Information and Communication Theory, and Computer Science/Automata. The 7 courses are: Introduction to Information Science, Systems Theory and Applications, Mathematical Methods in Information Science, Computer Organization and Programming Systems, Abstracting/Indexing/Cataloging, Information and Communication Theory, and Research Methods. The topics relating to these courses are given in Appendix III. Not all the objectives have been attained. The “meat” surrounding the core has not yet been supplied; the core for a Doctoral program must also be determined. The committee feels that some conventions for evaluating the levels of professionalism reached at the completion of such programs could result as a byproduct of ths study.

TL;DR: This study uses data from a large original survey to present how the cataloging and metadata community is approaching new and emerging data standards and technologies, and demonstrates strong professional-development interest in Semantic Web and Linked Data applications.
Abstract: This study uses data from a large original survey (nearly one thousand initial respondents) to present how the cataloging and metadata community is approaching new and emerging data standards and technologies. The data analysis demonstrates strong professional-development interest in Semantic Web and Linked Data applications. With respect to continuing education topics, Linked Data technology, BIBFRAME, and an overview of current and emerging data standards and technologies ranked high. The survey data illustrate that personal continuing education interests often varied from reported institutional needs. These results reflect the fact that library services and projects in these emerging areas have not yet progressed beyond the exploratory stage. They also suggest that cataloging and metadata professionals expect to be able to exercise a mixture of core professional skill sets including teamwork, communication, and subject analysis, and the ability to adapt and accommodate Semantic Web standards and technologies, digital libraries, and other innovations in cataloging and metadata services.
