Will Google's Keyword Searching Eliminate the Need for LC Cataloging and Classification?
Nope!, says Thomas Mann, a Reference Librarian in the Main Reading Room of the Library of Congress, "its limitations make cataloging and classification even more important to researchers." See Mann's paper, written for AFSCME 2910, here. There is a similar article in Library Journal, entitled Research at Risk, that I would also recommend. LJ recently did an about-face on its rather unpopular new policy of restricting articles to subscribers who establish a login, so you should be able to access this article freely. If not, and you haven't activated your login, drop me a line and I'll be happy to share.
