The process of archival cataloging consists predominantly of interpreting, extrapolating, or extracting information from the material and its context. . . . By contrast, a bibliographic approach is characterized by item oriented cataloging to provide a description, usually of a published item, as a physical entity. The cataloging process consists predominantly of transcribing information that appears on or with the item.
