The article presents results of the research into state of the art of theoretical foundations and use of cataloguing rules, putting them in relation to the contemporary trends in the field of bibliographic control. The research that was conducted in national libraries and library associations of countries of South-East Europe showed that in spite of the claimed use of Eva Verona’s Code and Manual for the Compilation of Alphabetical Catalogues as national cataloguing rules in the majority of interviewed countries, the practice shows a conscious decline from the rules due to new types of resources, national implementations of MARC formats, and use of specific library software. The split between cataloguing rules and the practice itself, as well as the use of different solutions for certain bibliographic conditions even within the same institution, impose the need for either the development of new or the revision of the existing national standards and cataloguing rules.

Contribution to the Research on Bibliographic Activity Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1955-2001)

Džejla Khattab, Lejla Hajdarpašić, Senada Dizdar

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1945, the Decree on Mandatory Delivery of Printed Matters in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Decree on the National Library of Federal Bosnia and Herzegovina were passed, which laid the legal foundations for creating a Bibliography of Bosniaca. Later in B&H, following the foundation of the B&H Library Association in 1955, the first B&H librarianship journal, the Bulletin of the B&H Library Association and the National Library of the People’s Republic of B&H was launched, where the journal was first renamed to Librarianship: Journal of the B&H Library Association and then to Librarianship: Yearbook of the B&H Library Association.

RDA in the Fifth Information Age: entity, identity, authority

Gordon Dunsire

The Fifth Information Age is characterised by the ubiquitous recording of social transactions in an explosion of persistent cultural memory. A person who contributes to social media is an agent who creates digital cultural artefacts. The internet of things, of personal devices for the capture, creation, transmission, and output of information means everyone is potentially an author, a publisher, a distributor, with a profound impact on traditional methods of authority control. The focus of authority control is shifting from the provision of a unique label for an individual person or group to the description of an individual as an instance of a class, as an entity.

Perspectives for the future development of authority data in the COBISS system

Andreja Krajnc Vobovnik

By introducing the IFLA Library Reference Model, the significance of authority control is constantly increasing as authority data will play a key role in the linked data network. Consequently, the preparation of authority data will help when implementing IFLA LRM and will prove useful during the transition to RDA (Resource Description and Access). The overview of authority data situation in the COBISS.net system with the focus on the Slovenian COBISS.SI system is presented.

LRM implementation: conceptual design of a cataloging user interface

Mihela Pauman Budanović, Maja Žumer

Changes in the conceptualization of bibliographic data caused by the introduction of the IFLA LRM model have strongly influenced the development and reorganization of cataloging principles and rules, bibliographic formats, and bibliographic information systems. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of both guidance and practices in LRM implementation to show how all the components should be applied consistently in cataloging systems, which we have tried to address by proposing a conceptual design for a cataloging user interface based on the LRM model.
