“…Kulczak and Reineka report on the measurement of the quality of headings in Government Printing Office records supplied by Marcive and found that, while the overall quality was good, a significant percentage of headings in the authority reports required additional attention. 150 Shin reports on an assessment of 2,000 Koreanlanguage bibliographic records in WorldCat and considers specific errors, error frequency, areas where errors occur frequently, and errors that could inhibit record retrieval. 151 Shin found patterns in the errors involving ISBD punctuation, missing variable and fixed fields, and that these patterns are similar to other studies.…”

“…These problems included incorrect choice or form of headings that affect authority control, missing call numbers, missing or duplicate records, typographical errors, and MARC coding errors. 12 Mugridge and Edmunds described their experiences of batch loading vendor record sets to improve access to electronic and microform collections at Penn State University Libraries. 13 They noted that the process involves collaborations between various library units for purchasing, reviewing records, assessing record quality to meet local customization needs, and coordinating record loads and their ongoing maintenance.…”

54(4) LRTSL ibraries continue to increase acquisition of e-books. A recent Ebrary survey of 552 libraries of all types around the world found that 88 percent of respondents owned or subscribed to e-books, with 45 percent further stating they provided access to more than ten thousand e-books.1 Integrating records for the e-books into the catalog has been an important part of facilitating retrieval and access for this growing set of resources. Ever since vendors began offering MARC records for e-book collections as part of their subscription contracts, libraries have been adding them to their catalogs, typically via batch loads. This seemingly straightforward process has brought new challenges for catalogers in terms of the load itself, sharing records in a consortial environment, quality and completeness of record content, and access problems. Despite these challenges, batch loading vendor records is an expedient solution for libraries wishing to provide timely catalog access to e-book collections.The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Library has been batch loading vendor-supplied Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) records for various e-book collections into its local catalog, UICCAT, since 2006. When this paper was first presented, the library had loaded more than 250,000 vendor-supplied e-book records in the library's catalog. Loading records for e-book collections has been challenging because of the varying quality of different vendors' record sets. The UIC Library's ongoing communications with vendors has produced better records

The rapid growth of electronic resources continues to challenge traditional methods of cataloging library collections, forcing a cataloging department to reevaluate its policies and procedures and implement changes. This chapter presents a case study of integrating vendor-supplied bibliographic records into a library catalog in order to provide timely and accurate catalog access to the library digital collections. The chapter discusses the benefits, issues, and challenges of batch manipulating and loading large record sets for these e-resources supplied by their vendors. It also describes the strategies and tools the bibliographic services staff has employed to solve the identified problems and improve the process. Further, it examines the effectiveness of the current e-record management policies and procedures. The chapter concludes with recommendation of solutions and a quest for future best practices in managing vendor-supplied records for e-resources.
