- Abstract
- Many libraries are still conducting, or are contemplating, retrospective conversion (recon) projects in order to automate their catalogues. Unfortunately, many of the records retrieved from bibliographic utilities require some degree of editing in order that they (a) correctly represent items in the local catalogue and (b) conform to local cataloguing standards. There is little disagreement with this argument. But, the extent of editing necessary is highly debatable. The recon literature is reviewed on the issues of quality control, special material formats and collections, and costs.
