USING CATALOGUING RULES FOR EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION OF BIBLIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION OF NON-BOOK MATERIALS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This study investigates the organization of bibliographical information for non-print materials in libraries, focusing on the absence of standard formats. It explores the effectiveness, benefits, and challenges of using catalouging formats. The research utilizes various databases, analyzing studies for relevance to assess catalouging models in terms of accuracy, accessibility, and usability. Study explores the catalouging and bibliographic organization of non-print materials, tracing the evolution from foundational codes like Cutter's dictionary catalogue code to modern standards. It highlights contributions by key figures like Lubetsky, British and Amarican library associations, IFLA and RDA working committee emphasizing consistent and accurate representation across various formats, including audio-visual and electronic resources. Initially, above codes focused on physical descriptions of materials like audiovisual media, electronic sources, and graphic materials. Over time, these codes evolved to include content and access details, reflecting technological advancements. The research highlights the effectiveness, benefits, and challenges of using indexing models to categorize non-book sources, emphasizing the shift from describing external to internal characteristics. Various strategies, including controlled vocabularies and specific rules, have been developed to enhance the organization and retrieval of bibliographic information in diverse media.
