TL;DR: It is suggested that the provision of AACR2 first level of description may be a desirable and practical compromise between single subject assignment and full cataloging.
Abstract: A broad and diverse compendium of underutilized information is available in pamphlet format in the academic library. Its enhanced use is impeded by the lack of an effective means of catalog access. The traditional library practice of accessing pamphlets by a single subject heading assignment/arrangement greatly limits accessibility. The alternative of full cataloging regularly accorded books is generally provided only for selected pamphlets for reasons of cost. It is suggested that the provision of AACR2 first level of description may be a desirable and practical compromise between single subject assignment and full cataloging. The availability and ease of access to the information required for inclusion in cataloging of this type is examined based on a survey of pamphlets cataloged for the collections of the University Libraries at California State University, Northridge.

TL;DR: The Government Printing Office Cataloging Tapes appear at first glance to be a cost-effective and efficient method for adding bibliographic records for U.S. documents to an online catalog, but errors and inconsistencies in these tapes compounded by the lack of documentation make it virtually impossible to load them directly into an online Catalog.
TL;DR: Ambiguites des vedettes choisies, confusions multiples and difficultes d'utilisation du catalogue sont les causes des conflits entre les bibliothecaires qui renseignent les usagers and ceux qui font le catalogage.
Abstract: How does a patron locate a specific title or body of work in the library? Usually by searching in the card-catalog or online catalog. Who is responsible for getting that information into the catalog? The cataloger. How successful are catalogers in giving patrons access to the library’s collection? It is often only the reference librarian—who in many instances must act as interpreter of the card-catalog for the patron—who can judge the success of technical services. Does the cataloger provide or deny access to the collection?

TL;DR: The author suggests that increased use of AACR2 and cooperative cataloging of nonprint formats will enhance public library collections both as to quality and accessibility.
Abstract: The results of a survey of three-dimensional ob- ject collections in randomly selected public libraries are re- ported. Over half of the 379 respondents had three-dimen- sional objects in the collections, the most popular categories being toys and games, and tools and household items. Local code or practice was the most frequent basis for cataloging, but AACR2 was cited next most frequently by those libraries cataloging both three-dimensional and audiovisual materials. Staff size was significant negatively: the libraries with 1-5 staff persons were least likely to catalog nonprint materials of any type. The author suggests that increased use of AACR2 and cooperative cataloging of nonprint formats will enhance public library collections both as to quality and accessibility.

TL;DR: Come with us to read a new book that is coming recently, this is a new coming book that many people really want to read will you be one of them?
Abstract: Come with us to read a new book that is coming recently. Yeah, this is a new coming book that many people really want to read will you be one of them? Of course, you should be. It will not make you feel so hard to enjoy your life. Even some people think that reading is a hard to do, you must be sure that you can do it. Hard will be felt when you have no ideas about what kind of book to read. Or sometimes, your reading material is not interesting enough.
TL;DR: The need for a code for subject headings is explained, historical background is provided, and some broad proposals as to the philosophy, structure, and form of the code and what the code should cover are presented.
Abstract: Although the rules for descriptive cataloging have been recodified twice in the past twenty years, there never has been any kind of comprehensive theoretical code for subject headings, despite some suggestions for a code over the years. This essay explains the need for a code, provides historical background, and presents some broad proposals as to the philosophy, structure, and form of the code and what the code should cover. Included is the relation between the proposed code and the Library of Congress' 1984 Subject Cataloging Manual.
TL;DR: The Guidelines deal with three problems raised by application of AACR2 Chapter 9 to microcomputer software: teminology; description of the physical manifestation of an item; and notes describing related hardware.
Abstract: Once collections of microcomputer software are established in a library, they grow like wildfire, requiring bibliographic control. Control should have been furnished by AACR2, however, Chapter 9, designed to deal with macro- or minicomputer software, was difficult to apply to microcomputer software. Responding to demand from the field, a Task Force of ALA's Committee Cataloging: Description and Access devised Guidelines for Using AACR2 Chapter 9 for Cataloging Microcomputer Software, which was approved at the 1984 Midwinter Conference and is now available for purchase from RTSD. The Guidelines deal with three problems raised by application of Chapter 9 to microcomputer software: teminology; description of the physical manifestation of an item; and notes describing related hardware. A fourth problem concerns which materials are covered by the Guidelines. Each of these is explored and evaluated.

TL;DR: A sratistical method for evaluating the quality of a cataloger's work was developed and the rationale, method of scoring, and establishment of a standard are discussed.
Abstract: As a quality control measure particularly within the context of a union database like OCLC, cataloging revision can eliminate many errors which might otherwise be input. Based on this revision process, a sratistical method for evaluating the quality of a cataloger's work was developed. The rationale, method of scoring, and establishment of a standard are discussed.
