On cataloging Internet resources: Voices from the field

Academic librarians from six different institutions of higher learning were interviewed regarding their experiences with cataloging of Internet resources for inclusion into online public access catalogs. They discussed selection procedures and how they began cataloging these resources. They identified problems which have been encountered in the process, described their efforts at maintaining web addresses, and discussed access to web resources both through the catalog and library web pages. They also shared philosophical thoughts on the catalog and the need to catalog electronic resources.
