Abstract

Arguments in favor of using classification numbers for subject access are discussed. A survey of online catalog users of the Israeli academic libraries (the ALEPH system), together with monitoring of user transactions of this system revealed almost no use of classification numbers as an access point; the basic reason being that users do not understand the meanings of the codes. Also, it is maintained that monographs, in which much activity is invested, are not our main source of information, and stet the use of the online catalog for subject search in any case declines over time. Therefore, it is suggested that resources be channeled in other directions

Abstract

The No-Main-Entry Principle and the accompanying Description-Idependent System of cataloging, described in a 1989 article by Takawashi, Shihota and Oshiro, is analyzed in relation to the online catalog. The development of the main entry concept, from the time of the single entry catalog to the advent of the automated catalog is described. The relation between the available technologies of the time and the main entry concept is explored. Although the necessity for a main entry, or full cataloging record, in a single entry catalog is acknowledged, it is suggested that in an automated catalog it is no longer relevant. A recommendation that libraries with online catalogs explore the possibilities of cataloging according to the no-main-entry principle is accompanied by a stateement of the advantage of such a system and suggestions for implementing it.
