Title

¬A comparison of OCLC and WLN hit rates for monographs and an analysis of the types of records retrieved

Source

Information technology and libraries. 12(1993) no.3, S.353-360

Year

1993

Abstract

This study was initiated to secure data on the types of records found in OCLC and WLN for new monographs being cataloged at the Central Washington Univ. Kibrary. It examines what the hit rate is in each system for newly acquired monographs. The records are analyzed as to whether they have a LCC number and whether the LCC number is complete. Statistics are presented comparing the search results in OCLC and WLN regarding the number of duplicate records found and whether multiple records for various titles are retrieved when a given title is searched in either database
