The UK MARC Project: Some Impressions of the Cataloguing and Indexing Group Seminar at Southampton University, March 1969

One might begin by questioning the validity of the term ‘seminar’ in relation to the participation of at least one hundred and forty‐two listed persons. But then, even cataloguers are not immune from the loose usage of terms. A superficial analysis of the attendance showed university libraries to be supplying nearly half the participants (62), compared with thirty from public libraries, seventeen from special libraries, fourteen from library schools, and nineteen others (including ten from BNB), with all parts of Great Britain and Ireland represented.
