“…This "principle of utility," according to Bentham, is the moral foundation on which modern law and government is predicated [3; pp. [11][12][13][14][15][16]. The basic rule concerning utility comprises three axioms: the pursuit of the greatest happiness for all, the definition of happiness as the pleasure and absence of pain of sentient beings, and the principle of impartiality.…”

“…There is some evidence to justify the fears of those who opposed the strategy. Research has suggested that the PCC core recordthe default standard for CUL's original cataloging, which provides more extensive bibliographic content than CUL's briefer classification-on-receipt recordsmay be too truncated for effective resource discovery [13]. In another study comparing records without Library of Congress subject headings to those that contained them, Tina Gross and Arlene Taylor found that more than 33% of records without subject headings would not be retrieved by keyword searching [17].…”

This paper seeks to provide a philosophical framework for choices made about library priorities and cataloging policy, the contexts in which they are made, and the consequences they have for users. The authors invoke the notion of utility as a philosophical backdrop for dealing with competing library choices and the fallout from those prioritizations. They then look at how general utilitarian principles can contextualize the layers of wants, needs, and resource allocations in the research library environment. Finally, they examine issues and recent developments at the Cornell University Library as a case study with which to illustrate some of these principles.

In this paper, ten standard business principles are considered in relation to library cataloging. These principles are intended to suggest methods that may decrease the time necessary for processing new library materials without adversely affecting access to the materials. This purely rational paradigm offers ideas about how to modify the cataloging philosophy and workflow, to reduce costs and improve patron service. By applying these basic principles, cataloging departments can accomplish traditional tasks more efficiently. Furthermore, the adoption of this approach will help to ensure the department's perceived value and relevance by freeing catalogers to focus more fully on the description and access of electronic resources.

“…Two recent studies explore the sufficiency of the core record. The first study analyzes the access points and notes in the core-and full-level records and finds statistically significant differences in the two levels of records (Czeck, Icenhower, and Kellsey 2000). While the authors indicate the fields that catalogers may want to augment, they acknowledge that catalogers may want to accept basic corelevel requirements unless the need for additional fields outweighs the time savings in the creation of core records.…”

B ibliographic control of rare book collections has always been a time-consuming and specialized process. The materials in special collections are there for particular and compelling reasons. Catalogers of such collections have traditionally identified those special attributes in catalog records with full-level bibliographic description, extensive notes, and as many access points as are deemed appropriate by both catalogers and curators. The new edition will include rules for the various formats of materials. The documentation for books will be known as DCRM(B). While the current standard of DCRB is written primarily for books printed before 1801, it can be used for post-1800 imprints as well.The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) has defined and approved core standards for many of the bibliographic formats, beginning with the stan-
