While I don't mean to make light of your observation, and taking
your observation out of context...I do believe it is important to
mention that in the great scheme of things, the first order of business is
preservation.

As to what good is it...it is saved. Cataloging, contrary to the thinking
of many librarians I know, is not the top priority.

unimportant when compared to cataloging commercial recordings)
