- Abstract
- Contents enhancement of catalog records may increase access to books in collections and aid in effective resource sharing by providing more detailed descriptions about library holdings in the catalog. A sample of monographs in San Diego State Univ. Library was studied to determine the extent to which information in books from parts of the collection could be represented better by content notes, and to determine how much of this information has subject or analytical applications. The study revealed that approximately 23% of the books contain discrete content information not already represented in catalog records that could be added. Of those, 52% would be citation-based enhancements and 48% would be subject-based. Nearly 65% would require fewer than 25 enhancements, with an average of 8.03 enhancements per book for the total population
