Abstract: Typographical errors in bibliographic records can cause retrieval problems in online catalogs. This study examined one hundred typographical errors in records in the OCLC WorldCat database. The local catalogs of five libraries holding the items described by the bibliographic records with typographical errors were searched to determine whether each library had corrected the errors. The study found that only 35.8 percent of the errors had been corrected. Knowledge of copy cataloging error rates can help underscore the importance of quality data in bibliographic utilities and, further, can serve as an indication to libraries whether they need to pay more attention to correcting types in the copy cataloging process.

Abstract: Catalogers at Harvard University have been adding form and genre data to MARC records in HOLLIS, the University's online library catalog, since 1994. The addition of this data in bibliographic records allows library users to more easily access some materials described in the catalog. This paper describes how form and genre data is indexed in the catalog and analyzes the value of adding, indexing, and using this bibliographic data.

Abstract

In bibliographic records, catalogers use the error indicators [sic] or [i.e.] with a correction to indicate that a preexisting error was noted on the item being cataloged that did occur not during the cataloging process. This article analyzes this practice and provides examples of the recent use of the error indicators. The article also suggests how the use of the error indicators in bibliographic records might be improved and describes aspects of their use that merit further study.

Abstract

WWW sites, consisting mainly of links to other Internet resources, have begun to proliferate and these sites are valuable to library users and researchers because they bring together in a single Web site links to a comprehensive array of information resources. Because libraries may elect to include bibliographic records for these sites in their online catalogues, cataloguers should be aware of some of the main aspects of cataloguing this new type of resource. Concludes that cataloguers should be aware of the main types and different characteristics of these Web sites, how to describe them in bibliographic records and how to assign appropriate subject headings for them

Abstract

Magda Heiner-Freiling argued for assignment of extra DDC numbers for improved access, including table numbers and other parts of numbers as well as fully built numbers, and for coding to identify component parts of built numbers. Changes to the MARC 21 Bibliographic format that support her approach are found in MARC Proposal No. 2008-01 Representation of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) System in MARC 21 formats. The new 083 Additional Dewey Decimal Classification Number field is used for assignment of extra Dewey numbers for improved access. The new 085 Synthesized Classification Number Components field is used to identify component parts of built Dewey numbers. This paper uses specific examples to show how the new fields can help improve access.

Abstract: The database used to publish the 20th edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) was produced on ESS (Editorial Support System). Systematic changes are being made in the database that will facilitate (1) converting ESS records to the USMARC format, (2) searching for component parts of and analyzing synthesized DDC numbers, and (3) tracking hierarchical relationships not expressed by the DDC notation.

Abstract: This study examined ten, selected word pairs, each containing a word's full spelling and its abbreviation, to determine which form search engine users preferred in searching. Using seven search logs gathered from several Internet search engines with approximately 608 MB of data, the study measured the occurrences of the twenty terms. The selected words are important in library cataloging, for some are prescribed abbreviations in metadata content standards. The study found that in eight of the ten word pairs users preferred to search full spellings over the abbreviations, often by a high margin.'

Abstract

Dewey for Windows (DFW) provides a Windows interface for the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The DFW interface is different from the DOS version of Electronic Dewey, but the search engine (database access program) is similar . This paper does not attempt to survey all the features of DFW; it focuses on those features that seem most important to the working classifier. It describes the hierarchies and the extra terminology for searching added to the DDC 21 database, search strategies, the limited number of built numbers in the database, and the need for number building. This paper also includes detailed descriptions of sample searches that illustrate how the system works.
