Abstract:

Monika Münnich discusses her professional development and involvement in IFLA. The value and importance of becoming professionally involved on an international level is emphasized, in particular because of the growing internationalization of librarianship. The interview turns to the current cataloging situation in Germany, and a comparison between American and German cataloging culture follows. RAK (the German cataloging rules, the Regeln für die alphabetische Katalogisierung) and AACR2 are compared, as well as the computer cataloging formats MARC and MAB. The interview concludes with a summary of the recent turn of events in Germany, with a preliminary decision being made on a national level to formally introduce AACR2 in German libraries.
