> One of the assignments of the ALCTS Task Force to Define Bibliographic
> Access in the Electronic Environment is to recommend acceptable
> alternatives to traditional methods of cataloging.
>
> In order to get a more complete picture of the current state of cataloging
> practices, we would like to investigate the existence of any innovative
> approaches to provide bibliographic access to and control of electronic
> resources which are significantly different from standard cataloging.
>
> For example, we would like to investigate the use of SGML, TEI headers,
> and others in mapping MARC records. We would also like to know if there are
> non-traditional subject heading and classification tools in use.
