Cooperative cataloging is "the original cataloging of bibliographic items through the joint action of a group of independent libraries which make bibliographic records accessible to group members and sometimes to nonparticipating libraries as well." (ALA Glossary) The papers in this volume provide an historical perspective, discuss current programs and issues, and suggest possible answers to the issues which will have a major impact on the ability of libraries to provide bibliographic access to information resources. Also published as Cataloging and Classification Quarterly, v.17, nos. 3/4, 1993. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This report describes the background of the Association of Research Libraries Microform Project and summarizes results of the survey from which the database of the project's clearinghouse on the bibliographic control of microforms has been constructed. The Microform Project was established in 1981 to assist libraries, microform publishers, and the bibliographic utilities in their efforts to achieve bibliographic access to titles in microform sets. The primary tool in providing this assistance is a Microform Cataloging Clearinghouse, the main purposes of which are to facilitate the cataloging of titles in microform sets and prevent duplication of effort. The clearinghouse database is based on the results of a survey sent to participants in the four major bibliographic utilities as well as the few major libraries that do not participate in them. The 535 useful survey returns which were received show that a large number of libraries catalog titles in microform sets and that most of them create machine-readable records for at least some of the sets they catalog. A copy of the survey questionnaire and additional information on the survey and the clearinghouse are appended. (DMC)
