Explaining Cataloging to a Six Year Old?

ABSTRACT Cataloging is complex, both in the formal and informal sense. The standards used in cataloging, as well as the larger ecosystem in which catalogers work including the models developed to undergird their work, are increasing in complexity to the point where catalogers themselves may be unclear, and explaining the work to outsiders, including administrators and those new to the profession, is increasingly difficult. Ultimately, the training and continuing education and all around intellectual effort required to stay on top of the field of cataloging is prodigious. Any possible lessening of the complexity, while maintaining quality, should be sought.
