Re: [ARSCLIST] Cataloging sound recordings

[Joel Bresler <joel.br@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am reading this thread with interest. There was an article by Martha M.
Yee that could be helpful to list participants, see: "Musical Works on
OCLC, or, What if OCLC Were Actually to Become a Catalog?"

http://www.haworthpress.com/store/ArticleAbstract.asp?sid=292UFLX8J18Q9PVPDNEUFF0NK1SW2CRF&ID=28553

She writes:

"Currently, FirstSearch is as chaotic as the Web despite all of the added
expense and trouble the contributing libraries have gone to in order to
have professional catalogers create tightly controlled data; the expense
and effort have been largely wasted due to poor system design."

Best,

Joel
