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

The active learning theory provides a balance between theory and practice and requires that students be inquirers, creators and receivers of knowledge. Within library education, cataloguing, where knowledge is based around techniques and skills, would benefit greatly from the active learning concept. Shows how a laboratory environment based on the active learning theory, can be successful in teaching cataloguing and thereby better prepare students to enter the work environment

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.
