Title

Original cataloguing errors : a comparison of errors found in entry-level cataloging with errors found in OCLC and RLIN

Source

Technical services quarterly. 12(1994) no.2, S.13-27

Year

1994

Abstract

Statistically examines the data in 2 studies of cataloguing errors: the 1st concerning original cataloguing errors produced by entry-level cataloguers, and the second concerning cataloguing errors in the OCLC and RLIN database. The numer and percentage of errors were analyzed to determine whether or not certain 'areas of cataloguing difficulty' exist in monographic cataloguing. In some areas of the catalogue record, namely, description and headings, title ad statement or responsibility, and notes, no significant difference was found in the entry-level cataloguing and non-entry-level cataloguing. This suggests that there are areas within a catalogue record that cause difficulty simply because of their nature and are not unique to any particular group of cataloguing personnel. The implications of this finding for cataloguing instructors and administrators are discussed
