What is Conversations with Catalogers in the 21st Century (Libraries Unlimited Library Management Collection) about?

Library and information science faculty must accept that the catalog of old is no more. However, while cataloging is evolving, it is not going away, and the underlying concepts remain valid and vital to the future of libraries and their staff. An appreciation for how information is derived and structured is still critical in order to serve users effectively. Authored by cataloging librarians, educators, and information system experts, this book of essays addresses ideas and methods for tackling the modern challenges of cataloging and metadata practices. Library specialists in the cataloging and metadata professions have a greater purpose than simply managing information and connecting users to resources. There is a deeper and more profound impact that comes of their work: preservation of the human record. Conversations with Catalogers in the 21st Century contains four chapters addressing broad categories of issues that catalogers and metadata librarians are currently facing. Every important topic is covered, such as changing metadata practices, standards, data record structures, data platforms, and user expectations, providing both theoretical and practical information.
