Budd, John. “Exploring Categorization: Undergraduate Student Searching and the Evolution of Catalogs.” Library Resources & Technical Services 51(4), October 2007: 286-292.
I wasn’t too impressed with this article. Not sure why, but I certainly expected more from Budd. I think it tries to cover too much in too little space. Maybe the author never decided for sure what he was trying to say. He certainly does not do a good job tying the undergrad research part to the overall conceptual parts as far as I am concerned.
I also didn’t think the “come up with some subjects based on the title of these books” was the slightest bit useful or relevant. This is not to claim that this doesn’t perhaps happen on occasion with students, but it seems so far removed from the normal course of their scholarly habits as to have little, or no, applicability.
Two reasons: (1) That is, aren’t they generally going in the opposite direction? This is not to question whether having some idea how students would describe our resources is irrelevant, it isn’t. But Budd did not tie this in well with the theoretical part. (2) For that method to have much relevance the research would also have to include a study of catalogers assigning subjects based on title alone. But that is certainly not how we do it.

Finally finished this after leaving it the side for several months. I really need to internalize much of this way of thinking.
