Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library over a six-month period. The purpose of the study was to determine the types of errors that appeared on original cataloging copy by cataloging personnel in a decentralized environment. The authors reviewed 2,376 records of original copy for books or microforms. The records were scrutinized for errors in description, headings, classification, subject headings, capitalization and punctuation, encoding the MARC format, including omission of data, and any other errors effecting access. Specific areas within these broader categories were discussed as well. An examination of the data shows types and percentages of errors committed in the cataloging copy examined by the authors.

Abstract

Presents results of a study, conducted over a 4 month period and involving graduate students at illinois University at Urbana-Champaign who had completed a course on monograph cataloguing, to determine the types of errors that appear on original cataloguing copy by entry level cataloguers. Records were analyzed for errors in description, headings, encoding of MARC format, capitalization, punctuation, and any other errors affecting access. Results should assist educators in planning and implementing cataloguing courses and will inform professionals hiring cataloguers out of library school on how well the graduates are prepared for professional cataloguing

Abstract

Statistically examines the data in 2 studies of cataloguing errors: the 1st concerning original cataloguing errors produced by entry-level cataloguers, and the second concerning cataloguing errors in the OCLC and RLIN database. The numer and percentage of errors were analyzed to determine whether or not certain 'areas of cataloguing difficulty' exist in monographic cataloguing. In some areas of the catalogue record, namely, description and headings, title ad statement or responsibility, and notes, no significant difference was found in the entry-level cataloguing and non-entry-level cataloguing. This suggests that there are areas within a catalogue record that cause difficulty simply because of their nature and are not unique to any particular group of cataloguing personnel. The implications of this finding for cataloguing instructors and administrators are discussed
