Title

¬A modest proposal : no more main entry

Source

American libraries. 25(1994) no.1, S.81-84

Year

Abstract

Discusses the origins of the concept of main entry and of confusion about what is meant by the term: a card in the catalogue, or a line above the the description serving as an access point. Examines the drawbacks of dual meaning: the full bibliographic record headed by the name of the author; and the author heading itself. Calls for change in the transfer to the electronic catalogue of terminology that was only descriptive and meaningful in the card catalogue. Proposes, in answer to the question of how the role of the entry can be transformed into uniform, collocative author-name access in the MARC record, that the 100/110 main entry MARC field be transformed into the primary field for the creator's authorized personal or corporate name
