Abstract

This study aims to identify the recent trends and intellectual structure of international research in the field of catalog, which is undergoing a major change due to the enactment of new standards and rules and the anticipated future. For this purpose, we collected 680 articles published in the 14 years since 2010 and analyzed 1,942 author keywords extracted from them after preprocessing. The main findings of the analysis are as follows First, overseas cataloging research has seen notable growth since 2017. Second, the most frequent research topics were: cataloging, metadata, RDA, university libraries, authority control, linked data, FRBR, catalog, LCSH, libraries, andonline cataloging. Third, the research themes were divided into two clusters, one related to the traditional aspects of library cataloging and the other related to the more recently discussed topics of authority control, cooperative cataloging, RDA, and linked data, which were further subdivided into 14 subclusters. Fourth, we looked at the growth index and standard performance index of the 14 keyword clusters and found that all but one cluster showed growth in terms of discipline growth. This study is significant in that it can be used as a basis for predicting the future development of inventories for Korean academia and the field and for related education.
