on cataloging work
The Internet has changed how catalogers and
other cataloging department staff communicate
with each other, with peers in other libraries, and
with users through the communication tools
enabled by the internet, such as discussion lists,
email, gopher menus, Telnet and FTP, Z39.50,
SGML, XML, and the World Wide Web,
• The Internet enhancement of
communications pathways is a key
change in cataloging workflow.
Searching other catalogs has enable
better and faster copy cataloging.
•The internet has also linked the world’s
online catalogs together, and the Web has
provided them with a relatively similar
interface
 Z39.50 is an international standard for
communication between computer
systems primarily, library and information
related systems. Z39.50 has opened
catalogs as sources of MARC records for
copy cataloging.
2. Impact of internet content on cataloging
theory and practice

the expansion of types of content available
through the internet, it has affected the
organization of library materials.

in cataloging both new kinds of materials
(e.g. the born digital, and reformatted
materials)
•The internet content keep catalogers
updated

through the internet is driving effort to
rethink and revise cataloging rules,
theory, and practice.
