Weiss presented an engaging talk on the history of cataloging electronic resources and the special issues presented by these materials. She discussed how the changes in technology (from flat databases on floppy disks to interactive CD-ROMs to web based sources), emphasis of the cataloging rules (content vs. access), and ways in which the resources are used (in-house use, checked out, dial-up access), all add to the challenge of cataloging these sources. Weiss mentioned each version of the cataloging guidelines and how the technology leap-frogged the rules. Catalogers had to struggle to not only keep up with the rules, but to apply new technology to rules that were outdated as soon as they were published. This resulted in varied and inconsistent cataloging. Weiss discussed some of the specific areas in which electronic resources gave catalogers difficulty. She pointed out that the catalogers may or may not have something physical in hand to look at since some resources are available over the Internet. She mentioned the difficulty in determining different editions of an electronic work and even how to define 'edition.' The participants had obviously been struggling with many of these issues at their Libraries and asked many specific questions about handling these sources.
