    Abstract
    Examines a simpler cataloguing format offered by PCs, without disturbing compatibility, using A-Z cataloguing rules for data input, category codes for tagging and computer-supported data input through windows. Gives numerous examples of catalogue entries, basing techniques on certain category schemes set out by Klaus Haller and Hans Popst. Examines catalogue entries in respect of categories of data bases for authors and corporate names, titles, single volume works, serial issues of collected works, and limited editions of works in several volumes.

    Abstract
    Traditional approaches to the concepts of "authorship" and "responsibility" of scientific and technical documents are examined in printed versions of selected abstracting services. The importance attributed to the work of the individual or the parent organization differs between discipline-oriented services developed for the most part by scientific and technical societies, and services announcing reports of government sponsored research developed by the U.S. Federal Government. These differences are linked to the contexts in which scientific and technical research are performed. Differences in approach which are apparent in printed sources may be obscured when databases are mounted for online searching and search vendors impose their own processing requirements on the bibliographic data.

    Abstract
    LIAS, the Pennsylvania State University's (Penn State) integrated interactive online system, provides for messaging by the user to inform library staff of errors found in bibliographic records. The message is sent by use of the OOPS command, and results in a printout which is used by processing staff for online catalog maintenance. This article describes LIAS, the use of the OOPS command, the processing of the resulting OOPS reports, an assessment of the effect of its use, and some speculation on the expansion of the LIAS message system for use in catalog maintenance.

    Abstract
    This study examines the interrelationship of the rules on parallel title in AACR2. What emerges from the analysis are two principles that were utilized in the codification of the rules: (1) a principle of interrelationship (i.e. transcribing a data element in its relationship to other data elements); and (2) a principle of structured format (i.e. transcribing a data element in a prescribed order). A graphic representation of the possible combinations and positions of the data elements of descriptions in the title and statement of responsibility area (Area 1) shows that the present rules do not ensure consistency in bibliographic recording.

    Abstract
    The human process of determining bibliographic data from title pages of monographs is complex, yet systematic. This paper investigates the intellectual process involved, in conceptual and logical levels, by proposing a model of the expert system for determining title proper as the first element of the first area in ISBD. It assumes that the title page of a monograph consists of more than one block of character or graphic representation. Each block has its physical and content characteristics and can be separated from other blocks by separators. Three categories of expert knowledge are identified, and the system model is discussed along with its individual system component. It applies the "list" concept for the system data structure and addresses the potentiality of this conceptual model.

    Abstract
    The bibliographic component of the United States Newspaper Program comprises cooperative efforts to locate and catalog the more than 300,000 newspapers published in the U.S. and its territories since colonial times, and to enter bibliographic and holdings information about those titles into the CONSER data base. The attempt to gain bibliographic control over existing newspaper collections, as well as the attempt to gather and organize previously uncollected materials, has required procedural adaptations determined by a unique set of working conditions. The scale of the program has required specificity of goals and objectives, satisfying standards for inclusion of records in the national serials data base while maintaining reasonable economies. This paper outlines some of the mechanisms put in place to achieve that balance.

    Abstract
    Although it was decided more than a year ago to adopt BIBOS Catloguing System for use in Austrian academic libraries, the Working Group on Cataloguing has been voicing doubts as its use begins. Lists these doubts. Deals in detail wih the problem of the hierarchical structure of BIBOS into which records of multi-volume works have to be fitted. In Sept 88 the computer company (EDV GmbH) itself came forward with a technical improvement which would allow the build up of records from the smaller fields, instead of imposing the shape of records from the ultimate data set, which had on occasion even led to contravention of the nominative cataloguing rules, RAK-WB. Cataloguing in the interim period will be complex. The working group has still made no final decision.

    Abstract
    In the last ten years, Cataloging in Publication (CIP) records have gained increasing acceptance and use in libraries, especially for cataloging purposes. Nevertheless, there is a general perception that the accuracy of CIP records can be further improved. Because improvement is only possible with more concrete information identifying specific problem areas, this study is designed to provide catalogers and cataloging managers more empirical data on the frequency and types of discrepancy between MARC CIP records and subsequent MARC LC records. This study differs from an earlier study which involved CIP records that appeared on the verso of the title page of publications. In addition, this study will make some observations regarding more effective use of the CIP records, primarily for cataloging purposes.

    Abstract
    On-site newspaper cataloging in libraries, historical societies, newspaper publishers' offices and private collectors' homes in rural northcentral Pennsylvania created a host of challenges and rewards for project librarians of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Project. The experiences of the Penn State team in their quest to identify, inventory and catalog newspapers in a variety of unorthodox and exciting situations are shared in this article. The paper focuses on problems associated with identifying titles, linking titles, updating cataloging and gathering holdings data, and offers some solutions to those problems.

    Abstract
    Chinese names have long been a problem for technical processing, cataloging, and bibliographic searching in the libraries. Comparing AACR1 and AACR2, each takes a different approach in dealing with Chinese names containing a non-Chinese given name. Catalogers have struggled with the problem, not always successfully, as reported in this article.

    Abstract
    An experiment in latest entry cataloging of selected serial title changes is currently being conducted at Northwestern University Library. The integrated structure of Northwestern's automated system NOTIS and its applications to serials processing were primary factors leading to the investigation of latest entry cataloging as an alternative to the current standard of successive entry cataloging for serial title changes. A systematic investigation was conducted through most of 1985 and allowed project staff to identify and evaluate a number of concerns and problems. The study team is encouraged with the results, but will continue gathering cataloging statistics and will conduct user studies before adopting latest entry cataloging as a permanent option.

    Abstract
    Training for cataloging and classification within the Cataloging Department is discussed for two levels of staff, copy catalogers and original catalogers. A general pattern which moves from learning to catalog straightforward materials which require minimal editing to processing materials which are progressively more complex is described for copy catalogers. A survey of heads of cataloging departments reveals that there is a general feeling that cataloging and classification are being shortchanged in library school training and recommendations for such training are made. Training programs for original catalogers also follow a pattern, from working with LC copy to preparing original cataloging records. Some variations to the training patterns for each group are noted. The article concludes with a discussion of continuing education for both groups.

    Abstract
    Because rare book cataloging stresses the unique and characteristics of the species in special collections, it tends to be eclectic, chaotic even, in resisting standards and uniform description. Rare book librarians have therefore sought alternatives to AACR2 for bibliographic description at more detailed levels of control than this standard. Slowly a hierarchy of levels for the bibliographic control of books, manuscript and printed, is evolving which has a counterpart in archival control. As librarians choose appropriate levels of description for rare books and manuscripts, cost considerations must play their proper role. A survey of the major rare book and manuscript repositories in the U.S. and Canada provides comparative data for the cost of cataloging at levels higher than AACR2 and delineates other characteristics of RBSC operations for personnel, compensation, unit costs, backlogs, regional variance, standards in practice, accommodation of automation and networking, methods of providing intellectual access, and acquisition activities. This study discusses the concept of phased cataloging and collection management but suggests that current practices are not yet rationalized into an integrated system for the bibliographic control of rare books and archival control of manuscripts and records.
