- Abstract
- From a logical point of view, an OPAC is an inventory with indexes. Inventories can be accumulated and the indexes merged. However, in most merged catalogues not all documents have the same subject indexing and a number of documents are indexed by more than one system. In practice, a merged catalogue also contains descriptions without subject indexing. To augment the situation four methods are used: searching with title keywords, mapping and switching, acceptance of descriptions indexed in a given way only, and »citation pearl growing«. The last method uses all available subject indicators by using subject indicators present in relevant descriptions found by already known indicators. This method can also be of help in mapping and switching.
