Abstract :
This article presents the results of a case study of editing
required on OCLC bibliographic records for print monographs and
video/DVD monographs during a three-month test at two mid-sized academic
libraries. First, the authors reviewed the literature of cataloging/
catalog quality and consider the problems this literature presents in
terms of creating meaningful and measurable standards of “quality.”
Next, they define “quality” for the purposes of the case study and describe
case-study procedures for determining and comparing extent of
editing required for records to meet comparable standards. They then
present results indicating that records for print monographs acquired atthe two institutions usually required little or no editing (many of these
records were U.S. national-level records), while records for video/DVD
monographs required considerably more editing (U.S. national-level records
for this category of acquisition were not available). Finally, the article
proposes establishment of a cooperative program to create U.S.
national-level bibliographic records for videorecordings/DVDs as a
means of reducing redundant institution-level editing and ensuring availability
of comparable records across formats
