Abstract: Bibliographic control is a group of problems of how to create an effective and efficient distribution system of intelligent contents. The author discussed how it has changed in the digital network age arguing based by the author's previous book. Intellectual contents have been housed in such packages as books and journals and have been conserved physically in libraries. But information, once digitized, becomes amorphous and inderminate. Now, as is argued in "Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)" we are now to initiate transitional process to select manifestations to works and expressions of objects for bibliographic control.

Abstract: The paper proposes a new framework for the bibliographic control. It criticizes recent arguments on future of the bibliographic control as expansion of traditional method, and appeals the need of completely new framework. As a trial it proposes three methods: manual cataloging of network resources, provision for search engines, and registration and bibliographic control organization. In the last method, three types of functions: work registry, manifestation registry and bibliographic controller are proposed and scrutinized for the realization. It also mentions probable obstacles and difficulties.

Secondly, I review position of authority control in recent trends restructuring bibliographic control, from the viewpoint of bibliographic control policy, next generation OPAC, and new standards (FRBR/FRAD, International Cataloguing Principles, and RDA).

Abstract: Cataloging and metadata services have reached a crossroads. The digital age presents fundamental challenges to building and describing collections of interest to the communities that libraries serve. Since the advent of the Web, what has been fundamental to libraries and higher education, what has constituted professional wisdom and best practice-all have been disrupted by new conditions. This article describes the environment in which libraries are operating and identifies the key trends driving change in metadata creation and management. It also outlines the characteristics of a next-generation metadata creation and management platform for libraries, which the OCLC cooperative is planning, to support future cataloging and metadata practices and the evolution of the expert cataloging community surrounding WorldCat.

Abstract: In recent years, Archival community has developed some methodologies and standards in consideration of the characteristics of archival materials. This paper first explains ISAD(G), DACS and EAD as descriptive standards for archives. Next, it compares organization-based archival arrangement and function-based arrangement, and refers to ISAAR(CPF) and ISDF as related standards. It discusses about issues on electronic records metadata as well as ISO 23081 and MoReq. It seems that there are many similarities between recent trends in archival arrangement and description and those of bibliographic control in library community.
