“…After interpreting and analyzing the data, normalizations have been made as referred to Myall and Chambers (2007); Shin (2003); Each Editing type is normalized to the total item records of study, and total number of editing to classify the most and least to be edited. The necessary data has been collected into the spreadsheet using different functions of Microsoft excel.…”

“…It is very similar to the present study of research. Myall and Chambers (2007) conducted a study comparing the extent of editing required for records to meet necessary bibliographic standards during copy cataloging for Print and Video Books in Two different Academic Libraries. The result showed that records for print Books acquired at the two institutions usually required little or no editing, while records for video/DVD Books required considerably more editing.…”

“…The standard and selection of resource description must be uniform among all libraries to have uniform catalogs from the libraries of a region or state. In the ground idea of these, the description of catalogue of Library of Congress is prepared strictly following rules and regulation of standards Myall and Chambers (2007); Shin (2003). The description of catalogues can be searched and imported from Library of Congress using copy cataloguing*!…”

“…Librarians at those institutions perform minimal institutional-level editing of videorecords to conform to OCLC's requirements for full cataloging (I-Level). 9 The average videorecording record required about six edits, as compared to two edits for print monographs. The fields requiring the most additions or corrections were not identified.…”

C lassification is the act of systematically grouping similar things together. Within this study, the term "classification" refers to assigning call numbers that reflect subject content and are intended to support logical browsing of physical or virtual locations. Libraries continue to debate the question of how to best classify and provide access to video materials. While giving a presentation on the topic of video collections at a state library conference, the authors learned that libraries are using a wider variety of video classification and organization practices than we anticipated. That raised questions for us. We wanted to know whether this variation was a regional phenomenon or a general practice. Additionally, we also wanted to know whether librarians generally believed that their local practices for classifying videos adequately helped patrons. Therefore we decided to survey catalogers, media librarians (media selectors who may also do media cataloging), and generalists interested in video classification. We chose the survey method because it is an inexpensive way to obtain a broad range of responses from a wide audience nationally and, possibly, internationally. The authors anticipated that this would help identify areas requiring additional research. Because our research questions stemmed from a discussion with a diverse group of librarians, we intentionally tried to obtain responses that reflected the diversity of the profession for library type (academic, public, etc.) and organizational role (cataloging, collection development, etc.).An additional idea that we had is that catalogers are enculturated to follow standard cataloging practices to insure interoperability between computer systems and to provide a consistent experience for patrons.1 However, in her article on classification based on sameness and difference, Olson stated, I would like to build on the idea of diversity rather than universality as a way of accommodating our diverse users and collections and, thus, decreasing levels of bias. To do so requires a variety of approaches-not only can we not have a universal solution, we cannot even have a universal method for achieving solutions.

IzvlečekNamen: S prispevkom smo želeli opozoriti na nekatera izhodišča za proučevanje kakovosti podatkov v bibliografskih in normativnih zapisih. Specifično nas je zanimalo 1) razumevanje kakovosti podatkov v katalogizaciji, 2) teoretične osnove in pojmi o kakovosti podatkov ter 3) usmerjenost novejših raziskav o kakovosti podatkov s področja katalogizacije (vključujoč digitalne knjižnice).Metodologija/pristop: Prva dela raziskave sta zasnovana eksplorativno, medtem ko smo se v študiji raziskovalnih usmeritev z metodo analize literature omejili na pomembnejše objave v letih 2003–2016.Rezultati: Kakovost podatkov smo umestili v katalogizacijo tako, da smo poskusili opredeliti dejavnike, ki vplivajo na razumevanje kakovosti podatkov v katalogizaciji. V prispevku smo povzeli nekaj izhodišč z vidikov uporabnika, enotne obdelave, organizacije/racionalizacije delovnega procesa, katalogizatorjev ter tehnologije in programske opreme. Na podlagi drugega dela prispevka o teoretičnih osnovah o kakovosti podatkov smo nato raziskovalne usmeritve povzeli skozi prizmo opredeljevanja napak, dimenzij, uporabo mer in metod merjenja, vrednotenja in interpretacije ugotovitev, tehnike in aktivnosti pri odpravljanju napak. Rezultati so pokazali možnosti razširitve nabora dimenzij, ki opredeljujejo kakovost podatkov, ter nakazali problem ekspertnega vrednotenja in smer razvoja bolj sofisticiranih avtomatiziranih postopkov merjenja in odpravljanja napak.Omejitve raziskave: Zaradi obsežnosti raziskovalnega vprašanja in slabše sistematičnosti pri izboru virov so nekateri vidiki premalo problematizirani.Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Študija zapolnjuje nekatere teoretične vrzeli pri preučevanju kakovosti podatkov v katalogizaciji.
