Abstract
Cooperative cataloguing and collaborative resource description have a long and distinguished tradition in library services. The ubiquitous nature of the Internet presents new possibilities for the effective sharing of bibliographic data; imparts a more synergetic relationship between resource origin, description, and delivery; and represents the vanguard for a paradigmatic shift in library work. As an example, this paper discusses an effort led by Thomas Krichel to improve the resource description of scientific papers and their authorities in the field of Economics. The RePEc Economics Library provides access to the largest distributed source of freely disseminated scientific preprints in the world.
