The papers for the Toronto Conference will be available on the Web sometime this summer. Watch for announcements about their availability. LC intends to have more details worked out on its adoption of core cataloging by October 1. Three topics were discussed at the meeting. Some concerns were allayed by LC employees present, who stated that there will be options to do full level when a cataloger judges it appropriate, and there will be one or two subject headings on core records.
Some concerns remain, however, such as the recording of linking relationships.
The proliferation of formats, demands of economy, and general user preference for a single record are driving a change in cataloging practice in advance of rule changes. Discussion of how the rules could better account for user interaction with catalog records identified that a greater concern for considering how documents are cited would improve the rules. The Committee will consider this discussion and determine if any rule changes might develop from them.
