| Summary: | There have been studies on the cost of cataloguing in the
developed countries, but these have been done more than a decade
ago (1, 2). In recent times, reports tend to be comparative studies
of the manual cost of cataloguing to the cost of automated cataloguing
for the purpose of the library automation (3, 4). In the case of
Malaysia, no cost-analysis of cataloguing has been reported in the
literature. It is therefore in this context that this study will
primarily provide a guide to cataloguing cost in university libraries,
with special reference to the Universiti Sains Malaysia Library.
Secondly, in view of the fact that computerised cataloguing may be
a distant possibility, this cost-analysis will provide a basis of
comparison of the cost of manual and automated systems. |
