	Review article: Seymour Lubetzky Writings on the classical art of cataloguing
		Lubetzky is very concerned with the visual in catalogue design, especially the arrangement of entries with regard to catalogue size and complexity.
		Lubetzky's contention is that the catalogue needs to be neither a reference work laden with information, nor a simple finding list of individual titles.
		Seymour Lubetzky was 41 when he first went into cataloguing in 1939 (pages 2-8); and 100 when he wrote his latest paper in collaboration with Elaine Svenonius, for presentation at his Centennial Celebration at the University of California Los Angeles in 1998.

		Simply put, Professor Lubetzky views cataloging not as a haphazard compilation of illogical rules (as it once was), but as a set of principles which should enable effective organization, and therefore access to information.

		Seymour Lubetzky (1898-2003) was another giant in the world of cataloguing.
		All three based their thought on printed or card catalogues, though Lubetzky's later work did considered the computer and he lived to see the growth of the World Wide Web and instant online access to library catalogues around the world — none of which fully employ his ideas.
		The means by which the objectives of the catalogue are met are not as important as their fulfillment, but a complete arrangement as imagined by Lubetzky is practically impossible to do with a typewriter and paper cards.

		Seymour Lubetzky was largely responsible for this change in that it was his work, which has provided the conceptual foundation of the study of descriptive cataloging in this century, that fascinated me first.
		Central to Lubetzky's thought is the notion of a catalog as "a systematically designed instrument in which all entries, as component parts, must be properly integrated." (Lubetzky, 1969: p.
		What stimulates Lubetzky's work also inspires my own: a recognition of the potential of library catalogs to be effective and intelligible instruments which help users to discover valuable resources that they may not have known about before, and which show the relationships present among the items held in the library clearly and unambiguously.

		In a career spanning six decades, Lubetzky was not so much concerned with the organization of material by subject, but with establishing a consistent series of descriptors for authors and titles that would make cataloging more logical for both the cataloger and the researcher.
		His theories came into widespread use in the 1960s and became guiding principles in libraries around the world.

		In addition, considerable attention is paid in cataloging rules and practices to distinguishing among entities with similar attributes, such as various manifestations of the same work.
		Cutter’s objectives were essentially unchallenged for 75 years until 1960 when they were revised by Seymour Lubetzky to bring out the distinction between the work and its physical manifestation.
		Lubetzky’s modifications were largely influenced by the ideology of Antonio Panizzi, who in 1850 argued that the essential objective of a system for organization is to differentiate among the various editions of a work.
