SPEDALIERI, Graciela. The objectives of catalogs. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2006, n.15, pp.51-69. ISSN 1514-8327.

Catalogs have evolved over time not only in their physical aspect, but also the conception of what their functions must be. Several statements on catalog objectives have been the basis for the writing of cataloging principles or cataloging codes. This article reviews the statements on catalogs objectives produced from the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st in order to compare their characteristics and observe their evolution.

Keywords : Cataloging; Catalogs; Objectives of catalogs.
