The 1970s marked the beginning of the development of centralized cataloging systems (Lupovici, 2000, pg. 286). With the advent of the technical environment of the internet this system is changing again. A universal virtual digital library (une bibliothèque numérique virtuelle universelle) is being enabled by the development of new research tools and the internet. Library functions such as acquisition, storage, conversation, research, access and display are being transformed through the use of computer (Lupovici, 2000, pg. 286). OPAC or Open Access Catalogue is starting to be use in cataloging and is a large change from the traditional system of cataloging. Also the ISBN (International Standard Bibliographique Description) is becoming the new norm (Lupovici, 2000, pg. 287).
