Rules may be simple, but cataloging isnt. You
shall not covet your neighbors house. You shall
not covet your neighbors wife, or his servant,
or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is
his. (The Jerusalem Bible, Exodus 2017)

• No two catalogers will catalog something the same
  way.
• You wont catalog something the same way six
  months from now.

share cataloging records, even across cataloging
communities
