- Abstract
- Bibliographic records available in WLN (Western Library Network, formerly Washington Library Network) for works which are both by and about authors or artists are evaluated to show the inconsistency in the assignment by descriptive and subject catalogers of subject headings and author access points. The physical description and classification of these works is also examined in relation to its relevance in online use/retrieval. Bibliographic records created over a decade or more illustrate this persistent problem of access which affects retrieval in both DIALOG and WLN online systems as well as in card catalogs. The article includes suggestions for catalogers, particularly those working with art or literature subjects, to improve the situation.
