Title

Abstract

In bibliographic records, catalogers use the error indicators [sic] or [i.e.] with a correction to indicate that a preexisting error was noted on the item being cataloged that did occur not during the cataloging process. This article analyzes this practice and provides examples of the recent use of the error indicators. The article also suggests how the use of the error indicators in bibliographic records might be improved and describes aspects of their use that merit further study.
