Collaborative cataloging involves libraries working together to create bibliographic records that can be accessed and used by all participating members. It allows libraries to leverage existing cataloging while reducing costs. New social cataloging systems make use of web technologies and user contributions to create catalogs, connecting users based on books and providing recommendations. While offering benefits like increased access and engagement, social catalogs also present challenges around vocabulary control, information organization, and bias that require oversight from professional catalogers.
