2. Introduction:
The emerging trends of technology have become the
part of our discussions and debates not only in profit
oriented organizations but also in nonprofit organizations
like librarianship. All these emerging technologies have a
great impact on all professions of life, this information and
technological revolution has changed the working patterns
and services models of the libraries around the world.
This technology revolution has brought paradigm shift in
libraries form brick to bytes, this also has changed the
attitude of library patrons now. Library users are more tech
savvy they expect efficient and effective services.
Solutions of ILS (Integrated library systems) offered or
develop by different commercial vendors keeping in view
the size and needs of the library are available in the
market.

3. Tools for Digital Library Cataloguing:
Providing complete cataloging for a library collection requires
simultaneous use of four, sometimes five, different standards
and guides.
Cataloging Rules - RDA, AACR2 Built on foundations
established by the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, RDA is
being developed as a new standard designed for use in a digital
environment. Designed for the digital world and an expanding
universe of metadata users,

4. RDA: Resource Description and
Access:
It is the new, unified cataloging standard - an evolution
of the cataloging principles from AACR2, the second
edition of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules with
rules carried over or adapted to the RDA model. , RDA:
Resource Description and Access: The Cataloguing
Standard for the 21st century RDA was first published in
the RDA Toolkit - at http://www.rdatoolkit.org - in June
2010.

5. Classification:
Classification is the process of assigning a number to an
item so as to be able to shelve the item with other items on
the same subject. In the United States there are two
commonly used classification schemes: the Dewey Decimal
Classification and the Library of Congress Classification.
Both are used widely and actively updated.

6. The Cataloging Distribution Service (CDS) of the Library of
Congress publishes and distributes all of the Library of
Congress cataloging records and cataloging-related
publications, tools, and resources. CDS provides the most
current and authoritative bibliographic resources produced by
the Library of Congress, including web-based cataloging
tools, cataloging manuals, cataloging records, and MARC
documentation., Classification Web.

7. The Dewey Decimal Classification
(DDC):
System, devised by library pioneer Melvil Dewey in the
1870s and owned by OCLC (Online Computer Library
Center, Inc.) since 1988 (through its purchase of Forest
Press), provides a dynamic structure for the
organization of library collections. Now in its 23rd
edition, and available in print and in Web (as
WebDewey) versions, the DDC is the world's most
widely used library classification system, available
directly from OCLC Dewey Services.

8. Subject Headings:
Adding subject headings to a catalog record allows the
catalog user to retrieve all items on a given subject in a
consistent manner. The most commonly-used sets of
subject headings in the United States:
The Library of Congress Subject Headings
(LCSH) are updated daily in Classification Web.

9. The latest print edition, Sears List of Subject Headings,
21st Edition (2014), was published April, 2014, while
EBSCO maintains the Sears List of Subject Headings
online database.
The BISAC Subject Headings, 2013 Edition, also known as
the BISAC Subject Codes List, comes out of the Book
Industry Study Group.

10. Tagging for Machine-Readable
Cataloging, MARC:
Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) has been the standard
in library automation for nearly 30 years. It forms the
backbone of today's automated library systems, networks, and
bibliographical utilities around the world. The MARC format is
the data communication protocol for "translating" the text of a
catalog record for use in an online catalog.

11. The MARC products developed at the Library of
Congress set the standard for MARC cataloging
documentation. The Library of Congress, the British
Library, and the National Library of Canada harmonized
the USMARC, UKMARC, and CAN/MARC formats, and
joined their MARC documentation to form MARC 21.

12. OCLC Dewey Cutter Program:
This is a Free software program that automatically
provides cutter numbers from the OCLC Four-Figure
Cutter Tables (Cutter Four-Figure Table and Cutter-
Sanborn Four-Figure Table) upon input of text. Libraries
using Dewey use these Cutter tables to assign specific
author numbers.

13. Intellectual Property Right:
The enforcement of `The Intellectual Property
Rights Ordinance 2006’ created a central body with an
autonomous status at Islamabad responsible for over all
organizations, this office dealing with the Intellectual
Property Rights in Pakistan.

14. This is an autonomous body under the administrative
control of the cabinet division of the Federal
Government of Pakistan. This shall be headed by a
Chairman, Vice Chairman and other members from the
public as well as private sector and the Director
General of the body is its Chief Executive.

15. Prior to establishment of the said organization, trade marks
registry. The copy rights registry, the patent office, and the
design office, were working as an independent entities having no
coordination or collaboration amongst them.
Section 29 of the said Ordinance provides that upon the
commencement of this Ordinance, the trade marks registry, copy
rights offices, patent offices shall become part of the intellectual
property rights organization.

16. The schedule of the Intellectual Property Rights
Organization has put the following under its administrative
and policy control.
(i) The Trade Marks Ordinance, 2001 (XIX of 2001)
(ii) The Copy Rights Ordinance, 1962 (XXXIV of 1962)
(iii) The Patents Ordinance, 2000 (LXI of 2000)
(iv) The Registered Designs Ordinance, 2000 (XLV of
2000)
(v) The Registered Layout Design of the Integrated Circuits
Ordinance, 2000 (XLIX of 2000)

18. Search-Retrieval and Interoperability:
Z39.50 is an international standard client–server, application
layer communications protocol for searching and retrieving
information from a database over a TCP/IP computer network.
It is covered by ANSI standard Z39.50, and ISO standard
23950. The standard's maintenance agency is the Library of
Congress.

19. How interoperability is accomplished by
Z39.50 :
• Z39.50 accomplishes interoperability by providing a common
language for search and information retrieval (IR) and by
standardizing the manner in which the client and server
communicate and interoperate even when these are different
computer systems, search engines, and databases.
• One of the major advantages of using Z39.50 is that it enables
uniform access to a large number of diverse and
heterogeneous information resources.

20. OCLC WorldCat & FRBR
(Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records):
It is a conceptual reference model developed by
the International Federation of Library Associations and
Institutions (IFLA). This project is one of several OCLC
Research projects that address organizing bibliographic data
according to the FRBR data model.
The techniques and approaches developed by OCLC
researchers should facilitate conversion of WorldCat, and
possibly other bibliographic databases, to FRBR standards.

22. Future of Cataloguing:
From now on future is Cloud computing (CC). It is an
emerging technological trend not only in Pakistan but also
around the world. It is gaining popularity for the provision of
better services among different professions. In many
countries, various libraries and library consortiums are rapidly
adopting CC for better services.

23. According to Pew Internet Trust “Fluffy (Cloud Computing)
is a phrase that is being used today to describe the act of
sharing, accessing and storing data, applications and
computer power in cyber space. “National institute of
standards and technology (NIST) defines as “A model for
enabling configurable computing resources (e.g. networks,
servers, storage, applications and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management
effort or services provider interaction.”

24. New Paradigm of Cataloguing:
Searching of catalogues entries have gain the new meaning,
now software systems not only matched the characters of the
query but tries to read the mind of the searcher by offering
instant suggestion regarding his or her search term.

25. Digitization of literature has been done on revolutionary pace
by the giant IT based companies for instance Google,
Amazon, Microsoft Corporation and governmental libraries like
Library of Congress, from Pakistani perspective Punjab
government has taken lots of initiative for digitizing of the
literature available in Pakistan as a first step Punjab Text book
board took the initiative, all text books from class one up to
class twelve are available online through their URL
