Particularly the Deeken article speaks to the winds of change in cataloguing. What was discussed were methods to make information more accessible to the general public and solid in terms of access for future generations. Many ways to achieve this include change in how information is displayed and cataloged. I found the three bottom line solutions-change cataloging rules, abandon cataloging , and exploit technology as really the basis for all of the change now present in the field. Deeken’s article suggests that the third option-exploiting technology is the most feasible option for change and toward the goals of access and solid records management ( the creation of good data, metadata, creating standards for retrieval of information).
