Abstract

The bibliographic work has assumed a great deal of importance in modern cataloging. But the concept of the work has existed for over a century, and even some of the earliest catalog codes differentiate between the intellectual work and its instances. This article will delve into the history and theory of the work, providing a basic overview of the concept as well as a summary of the myriad uses of the work throughout the history of cataloging. In addition to monographs, this paper will look at the work as applied to music, moving images, serials, and aggregates.

书目工作：历史，理论与实践

摘要

书目工作在现代编目中承担了重要的角色。但是作品的概念已经存在了一个多世纪，甚至一些最早的目录代码也将知识作品及其实例区分开来。本文将深入研究作品的历史和理论，对概念进行基本概述，并对整个编录历史中作品的多种用途进行总结。除专着外，本文还将研究应用于音乐，动态图像，系列和合集的作品。
