| Summary: | Abstract
The objectives of the library catalogue are examined. According to the Paris agreement, the catalogue should be an efficient instrument for ascertaining whether the library holds a particular book, which works of a particular author, and which editions of a work are located in the library. The differences between a literary and bibliographic unit is also indicated. We would like to find out whether these objectives serve library users as well as which objective is more important: finding or collocation. |
