Cataloging
Here is an older one I missed, but given the author I think it is worth pointing out, The Corruption of Cataloging by Michael Gorman.
Terrible things are happening to catalogs and cataloging; terrible things with implications for service to library users and the future of libraries. Reports of the gutting and closing of catalog departments are legion. "Modernizing" and "restructuring" are being used by philistine administrators as smoke screens for the destruction of one of the pillars of library service. Words like "downsizing," "reengineering," "rightsizing," and "outsourcing" convey all too well their proponents' refusal to see library personnel as long-term assets to be cultivated rather than short-term "cost centers" to be eliminated.Seen in Library Juice.
