Abstract

The quality of cataloguing is an issue that has engendered much discussion over decades of bibliographic control. Juxtaposed against the standard of full, accurate, and timely bibliographic records is the pressure to produce reliable access in a cost effective manner. In reviewing the definition of quality at the LoC, the relationship between quality cataloguing to copy cataloguing, minimal level cataloguing, the core bibliographic record, and outsourcing, concludes that the definition of quality is dynamic and dependent on the values and needs of catalogue users
