Applying it more narrowly to libraries, I would say that while organizations as a whole could be "going jazz," certain departments would by necessity remain "classical", e.g. cataloging, where there are very specific rules to adhere to (AACR2, DDC/LCC etc.). However, even in classical music, there is room for interpretation, and so too in cataloging, where no matter what the rules are, a lot of times what we call cataloger's judgement/making your own decision is still required.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424038.post-1164178923634454022006-11-22T15:02:00.000+08:002006-11-22T15:02:00.000+08:00Hi Anonymous, your question, while valid, seems to...Hi Anonymous, your question, while valid, seems to have missed the point of the post.

Do they not symbolise hope for orchestra players in the future, ie. playing more "jazzed-up" music with your "old" instruments, and appearing in hip outfit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
