BIBFRAME Must Die, Part III: A Brief History of the Future of Cataloging

This paper continues the arguments laid out in parts I and II (https://doi.org/10.26207/v18m-0g05 and https://doi.org/10.26207/2zm0-yf35). It argues that cataloging practice need not be aligned with IFLA's Library Reference Model (LRM) and that the movement to switch from MARC to BIBFRAME, led by the Library of Congress (LC) and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC), is both pointless and futile.
