Library Cataloging
On Descript
When I started this weblog back in 2002 nobody was covering cataloging. There was AUTOCAT, great place for discussion. But no one place was acting as a news source. Now there are plenty of other place to keep current in cataloging, check Planet Cataloging for a good list of weblogs in this space. Now another voice joins the chorus, On Descript, and we are richer for it.
On Descript is a forum dedicated to all things description in Library and Information Science (LIS). Here, you'll find information on subjects like cataloging, indexing, abstracting and the foundations of description practices in LIS. Please share your ideas!
Not yet covered by Planet Catalog, so visit his site.
