The publication on its own is of no value to the information community without the records indicating their existence and giving access to the content. When looking at national bibliographic control in relation to universal control it is important, in addition to collection of items, for the national bibliographic agency to also be responsible for the creation of authority and bibliographic records for every new publication issued in accordance with accepted international standards. If all countries try to apply bibliographic control on the national level, a degree of universal bibliographic control would be possible. Cooperation between libraries and information services. It has become impossible for institutions to collect all the items to satisfy their consumers' needs because of economic restrictions and the increase in published sources of information.
Cooperation occurs especially in regard to shared cataloguing and the sharing of resources.
Therefore, the catalogue records created by a library must fit into the larger universe. Nowadays, much prominence is given to delivering quality products and services. A library or information service is an industry like any other industry. The clients and end users of this service are very aware of issues concerning quality. It is therefore clear that any library that ignores bibliographic control is seriously misusing and under utilising its collection and is certainly not giving the user the service they deserve.
