Major issues
Totally non linear production Difficulties have been left asideOff-site collections
NO standardised forms or formats

Metadata
Lots of (very) poor catalogue
records, most of them from
retrospective conversions
Cataloguing capacity
< Digitisation
capacity
Lots of additional data,
in and off library, difficult
to track
Good news : authority files
become crucial for medieval
material
Bad news : authority files for medieval
period are very poor and
records have very few links
