Cataloging Websites for a Library Online Catalogue

Wendy TAN

Abstract

Cataloging Websites for a library online catalogue is a difficult task for catalogers, but this activity is getting to be a trend in order to expand library services. However, with the changing nature of Web materials and the complexity of cataloging them, library administrators have to know the upsides and downsides of adding Websites to OPAC and do some experiments before making the decision to go with the flow. This article lists a few advantages and disadvantages of this effect for discussions, and also talks about metadata and some tools of cataloging Internet resources.

Keywords: Internet resources cataloging; Metadata; MAchine Readable Cataloging; Dublin core; CORC
