  27. Many thanks toXin LiBarbara EdenJoan BrinkJohn Marmora and many, may other CUL friends. • What’s new?

  28. Print and Electronic Resource Cataloging Cataloging for E-resources What we have done: • Cataloging for E-resources began in 1998. • At that time, detailed cataloging was made according to rules of MARC, but it is too slow, and could not meet the rapid increase of e-resources. • In recent years, data provided by vendors or other systems were used actively, which went batch processing, and then revised by staff.

  29. Print and Electronic Resource Cataloging Cataloging for E-resources What we have done:
