LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT SYSTEM
• No cross references• No Boolean searching• No phrase searching• No Advanced searching, example:
Color ads showing 1920s airplanes Editorial cartoons from the 1930s that
have dogs in them

REFLECTIONS ON TRADITIONAL LIBRARY & METADATA CATALOGING
• The definition “data about data” is not helpful
• At basic level, no difference. Skills and mindset are the same. Consistency is the key
• Metadata schemes are varied and can be as simple or complex as the builders want. Traditional library cataloging has over a century of complexity
![Page 25: Adventures of an Accidental Metadata Cataloger LIS Section, MASAL 2014 Michael E. Unsworth Michigan State University Libraries](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ee55503460f94bf4bcd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Future of Cataloging• Tradeoffs on level of granularity will
constantly be made• For the product to be valuable,
investments in technology and staff knowledge have to be made. If not:
Garbage In Garbage Out
