Expert Advisory Group to review the guidelines for the cataloguing of electronic resources

In 2005, Libraries Australia conducted a survey on cataloguing and access issues for electronic collections in Australian libraries. The results suggest a number of potential areas where Libraries Australia could work with libraries to improve the management and access of electronic resources.  In particular, there is scope to encourage improved workflows by providing guidance on options for obtaining and managing bibliographic records.  There is also opportunity to encourage consistency of cataloguing approaches and improved levels of contribution to the Australian National Bibliographic Database.

The Libraries Australia Advisory Committee at its meeting in February 2006 recommended that an Expert Advisory Group be established to review and update the Libraries Australia guidelines for the cataloguing of electronic resources and to provide advice on actions that Libraries Australia could take to encourage improved library workflows for managing access to e-resources.
