    Abstract
    Reports on a study carried out by the Centre for Bibliographic Management (now UKOLN) which aimed to find out the proportion of records used from the BLCMP Union Catalogue (BUC) are edited by BLCMP member libraries and to ascertain the reasons for the editing. The study established what percentage of records are edited, made a statistical analysis of the fields being edited and the types of change being made, and carried out an analysis of a random sample of edited records which had been annotated by the editing libraries to indicate the reason for each edit

    Abstract
    In shared computerized cataloguing, the interrelationship of types of record usage means that the quality of the source bibliographic records, can affect users. Reports on a research project, carried out by the UK Office for Library and Information Networking (UKOLN), Bath University, using bibliographic records on the BLCMP Database, to investigate record quality. The technique used was a simple count of the number of records edited. Overall, the standard of records was found to meet the needs of the majority of member libraries, with records found for approximately 90% of items, and around 80% of the records found being used without editing. Specific issues emerging from the study included: the increase in access points to records increases the risk of retrieval being affected by errors in data; indicators in records for Welsh language items raises the question as to whether there is a similar problem with other languages; divergences in practice with fields 250, 260 and 300; and records which are the result of retrospective conversions may have specific characteristics
