Does cataloging have value?

I just got out of a really frustrating meeting with the director of my
library. I'm left wondering, does anybody out there (other than
catalogers) value anything that catalogers do? Or are catalogers the
main thing holding libraries back in this day and age?

Thanks,

Shirley
