C.The impact of internet-enabled functionality on the catalog

The role of the catalog is changing due to the enhanced functionality enabled by the Internet. It is more than simply a list of local holdings; it is now operating in a context of other catalog-like entities, and it can be seen as a collection development tool. Earlier work in subject access, indexing and abstracting, and information retrieval (heirs to the documentalists mentioned above) anticipates some of the impacts catalogers are now feeling.

The Internet functionality greatly expands the role of the catalog. It changes the catalog’s fundamental nature and the context in which the catalog operates. The basic listing function of the catalog is transformed by hypertext linking that allows simultaneous discovery and delivery of the listed items.
