A study on the cataloging remote electronic resources

전자정보원의 목록작성에 관한 연구

With the advent of electronic publications, the cataloger is no longer providing access to just the library's archives. This paper intends to describe the concepts, types and characteristics of electronic information resources, and to review some projects and issues related to the cataloging of remote electronic resources, especially field 856(electronic location and access) in the USMARC. In an electronic world, organization occurs in whatever way is needed to provide quick and thorough access to information objects, regardless of physical constraint. Given the issues, it is obvious that cataloging in the electronic world can no longer be done the same as it has been in the past. We must ask ourselves what we want to see in the future of cataloging and what the acceptable norm of organization for the electronic world is if not cataloging as usual.
