The paper aims to discuss cataloguing workflow as a part of catalogue improvement. As a librarian involved in day-by-day cataloguing, every research on a library catalogue is an occasion to discover, in bibliographic and in authority entries, a huge amount of mistakes, especially in printed book and film description, and it is far from rare to have the doubt if the record I am looking has been created for the same edition of my copy-in-hand, or for a different one. Referring to the Italian (i.e. REICAT) situation but trying to having a look on the international (i.e. RDA) one, there will be discussed some practical examples of book and film cataloguing, on the assumption that examples are both important to build good cataloguing rules and to apply them. Particular attention will be paid to record duplication and inaccuracies, trying to understand how to avoid them improving collaboration between cataloguers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article describes the transmigration on OJS platform of the «Bollettino AIB» volumes already hosted on the old AIB website, focusing on specific technical problems as well as on the wider theoretical issueof the difference between paper and digital reviews. The work – accomplished by a team of volunteer librarians – allowed the editorial team to implement the old review volumes with additional features. Besides, it offered the chance to consider how editorial decisions were made also depending on the review's format – the paper edition, the old digital edition hosted on AIB website, and the new digital edition published using OJS software. One of the most notable considerations is that not only the review content is heavily influenced by its media (analog VS digital), but that different digital architectures bring to different editorial choices.
