| Title: | CATALOGUING NEEDS NEW DIMENSIONS |

| Abstract: | While cataloguing a multi-authored publication according to
AACR II, the names of second author onwards are dropped
in case there are more than three authors (two authors in the
case of CCC) responsible for the book. The same is the case
with the collaborators. It is argued that in the changed context
brought about by information technology, there is no need to
drop any of the authors l collaborators responsible for the book
Inclusion of all the authors l collaborators in the catalogue will
ensure giving credit to all of them. Moreover, this will help a
great deal in the compilation of a personal bibliography based
on library catalogues. Quite often need arises to search a
catalogue with place of publication, publisher, year of
publication, language of the document and so on. Sometimes,
it also becomes necessary to search from a book, a portrait,
an illustration of a famous building, a rare map not available
in the general atlases, and so on. It is suggested that all these
data available in a catalogue should be made searchable in
a computerised catalogue. |
