Mac Elrod's "house" The last bastion of "we own the bib description universe." Wouldn't it be pretty to think so. Did you note where Mr Gorman’s essay was posted?

I couldn't help laughing when I read this. I read Gorman's paper, and...I was struck by how out of touch he is with the possibilities of the Internet. I also love Roy Tennant's terminology of "descriptive enrichment" - that seems a great way to describe the future of what we now call "cataloging". “For comic relief, Michael Gorman has weighed in as well…” I couldn’t help laughing when I read this.

Best they go back to tending their collections and addressing their local coomunity needs, like education and societal integration for recent immigrants. Librarians and their professional enablers (those who make a living speaking to the choir at ALA, SLA, and other manufactured symposiums)have an industrial complex of their own that has lost its foundations. No study by the minds of LoC or others will begin to fix it... it no longer exists. Their efforts only perpetuate the myth that the concept of "standards", as it related to global info-structure, is still relevant.
