"Cataloging
should be fun. And challenging.
And useful."
Sanford
Berman, 1981
From the introduction to Joy of Cataloging
Abstract
For over thirty years, librarian Sanford Berman has been a
passionate and outspoken advocate for reform to cataloging
practices. This website, produced by four graduate students
at UBC's School of Library, Archival and Information Studies,
starts with an overview on Berman - his background, philosophy,
career, and achievements. His crusade for reforms to both
subject and descriptive cataloging is discussed in some depth.
The site concludes with quotations from a variety of library
professionals that demonstrate the differing attitudes towards
this iconoclast. A resource list of publications by and about
Sanford Berman is included. |
