In my opinion. Cataloging has a lot of value -- but the WAY cataloging
is done NOW needs to be modified to get better cost benefit. But getting
rid of human metadata control in libraries would be a shame -- although
it would be a lot easier than what really needs to be done, which is
changing the way cataloging is done.
