Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
Published: 2006
What is going on at the Library of Congress? Several recent decisions by the current LC
administration have produced firestorms of protest, both inside and outside the Library, that LC is abdicating its professional responsibilities to the national system of shared cataloging, as well as undermining its core mission to acquire, catalog, make accessible, and preserve its own unparalleled holdings–especially its book collections.
- Will Google’s Keyword Searching Eliminate the Need for LC Cataloging and Classification?
Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
Published: 2005
Google Print does not "change everything" regarding the need for professional cataloging and classification of books; its limitations make cataloging and classification even more important to researchers. Google’s keyword search mechanism, backed by the display of results in "relevance ranked" order, is expressly designed and optimized for quick information seeking rather than scholarship.
