C ataloging literature published from late 2000 through early 2002 reflects ongoing, if not increasing, interest in the cataloging of electronic resources. Numerous meetings and newly formed interest groups on this topic have been convened while cataloging rules and standards have undergone significant revisions (McKiernan 2002a;2002b). Another recognizable characteristic of this body of literature is its international scope. In a number of papers, issues on bibliographic control and international cooperation have been discussed to facilitate the exchange and retrieval of bibliographic information at the international level.This article will briefly describe cataloging and classification publishing highlights of the last two years through a review of the literature. This review is limited to print materials and a few Web resources. The reviewed papers are organized and presented in two parts. Part one focuses on cataloging theories and practices, and consists of the following categories: (1) descriptive cataloging, (2) authority control, (3) classification, (4) subject cataloging, (5) cataloging nonbook materials, (6) electronic resources and metadata, and (7) international cooperation. Part two covers other cataloging-related issues, such as management and education and training.
