The goal of the computerized version of Princeton University Library's Cataloging Documentation is to utilize the advantages of the computer system while being fully aware of its disadvantages. At the same time, we want to acknowledge the positive and negative points of the paper documentation. There can be a great deal of information printed on a single page. This allows for good general overviews. Staff can add their own information and examples.
