Cataloging is not simple and it's not easy, and if it's not correct and consistent it will result in a mess which will do more harm than good.

I've heard that about producing an ebook and about producing an operating system. I don't buy it. An incomplete list of science fiction books still helps. The fact that some of the computer books in the library are sorted under 510 and some under 000, like in the professionally catalogued Oklahoma State Library does not cause the roof to fall in. The worst thing a catalog can do is force you to try and handle things without it, which is what you'd be forced to do if you had no catalog. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
