This question has arisen -- not about comics, but about a wide variety 
of other items over the years -- and the final decision of the libraries 
I've been with has always been, "If it's worth shelving, it's worth 
cataloging."

Of course, there have been times when information about the _cost_ of 
such cataloging has influenced the decision to shelve.
