Abstract


Development and consolidation of automated environment in libraries affect specially the capacity of the present cataloguing standards: they are in question both technologically and economically. Some agencies and professionals claim for an urgent reevaluation and/or modification of those standards in order to suit them in a synchronized way to the new environment and its needs. The following proposal for the optimization of first generation online catalogues tries to unify the different institutional projects for establishment of simplified ISBD standards and MARC formats, as well as the results of occasional studies and researches on cataloguing codification. A feasible solution of immediate application for definitive transition from card catalogue lo automated catalogue is offered.
