Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of the Alma integrated library system in the Austrian Library Network from the perspective of the descriptive and subject cataloguing departments. Apart from the experiences made replacing the Aleph system the authors put special focus on Alma's suitability for everyday use. The current situation of the cataloguing field is then discussed in the context of future developments.
