  • 'The Heavies Were All for Automation': Machine Readab
    Benjamin Turkus Kara Van Malssen Digital Preservation 12 December 2013 ‘The Heavies Were All for Automation’: Machine Readable Cataloging and the Bibliographic Framework Initiative “The imagination of data is in some measure always an act of classification, of lumping and splitting, nesting and ranking, though the underlying principles at work can be hard to recover.” —Lisa Gitelman and Victoria Jackson, ‘Raw Data’ is an Oxymoron (2013) “A classification of classificatory styles would be a good first step towards thinking systematically about distinctive styles of reasoning…The comparison of classifications as an index of other things that are happening in our society provides a small, provisional ladder of escape from the circle of self-reference.” —Mary Douglas, How Institutions Think (1986) It is 1965. At a conference sponsored by the Council on Library Resources (CLR), the Association of Research Libraries’ (ARL) Committee on Automation, and the Library of Congress (LC) , representatives from “universities, research agencies, government agencies, and private industry” gather in Washington, D.C. to discuss a topic of increasing attention: the automation, or computerization, of library practice (Avram 3). With a mandate to “design and implement the procedures required to automate the cataloging, searching, indexing, and document retrieval functions” performed by librarians throughout the country, three employees of the Library of Congress—a reference librarian (Ruth Freitag), a cataloger (Kay Guiles) , and an information systems analyst

  • Editor's Comments
    Editor’s Comments Bob Gerrity Past and present converge with the December 2012 issue of Information Technology and Libraries (ITAL), as we also publish online the first volume of ITAL’s predecessor, the Journal of Library Automation (JOLA), originally published in print in 1968. The first volume of JOLA offers a fascinating glimpse into early days of library automation, when many things were different, such as the size (big) and capacity (small) of computer hardware, and many things were the same (e.g., Richard Johnson’s description of the book catalog project at Stanford, where “the major achievement of the preliminary systems design was to establish a meaningful dialogue between the librarian and systems and computer personnel.” Plus ça change, plus c'est la meme. There are articles by luminaries in the field: Richard de Gennaro describes approaches to developing an automation program in a large research library, Frederick Kilgour, from the Ohio Bob Gerrity ([email protected]) is University Librarian, University of Queensland, Australia. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES | DECEMBER 2012 1 Editor’s Comments Bob Gerrity College Library Center (now OCLC), analyzes catalog-card production costs at Columbia, Harvard, and Yale in the mid 1960s (8.8 to 9.8 cents per completed card), and Henriette Avram from the Library of Congress describes the successful use of the COBOL programming language to manipulate MARC II records. The December 2012 issue marks the completion of ITAL’s first year as an e-only, open-access publication. While we don’t have readership statistics for the previous print journal to compare with, download statistics for the e-version appear healthy, with more than 30,000 full-text article downloads for 2012 content so far this year, plus more than 10,000 downloads for content from previous years.
