“…14 While this was a case study of a manual e-book cataloging project rather than a batchloading project, Preston noted that "concerns about bibliographic record accuracy, retrievability, and adherence to cataloging standards" 15 17 She found that the majority of corrections could be viewed as minor and did not affect catalog retrieval, including changes to punctuation, diacritics, and spaces. El-Sherbini also identified corrections that might affect access, including indicators, subfields and delimiters, tags, spelling errors, and forms of subject headings.…”

213 Notes on Operations As e-book batchloading workloads have increased, the quality of vendor-provided MARC records has emerged as a major concern for libraries. This paper discusses a study of record quality in e-A s libraries expand their electronic collections, many find that the most effective and practical means of providing catalog access to these collections is through batchloading MARC records provided by vendors or publishers into local catalogs. As batchloading becomes more common and libraries share their experiences, certain themes and focuses of discussion have emerged. One is the challenge of incorporating batchloading into existing technical services and systems workflows. Another is navigating the mechanics of record editing and loading processes. A third strand running throughout the batchloading literature is the issue of record quality. General discussions of the topic usually include a least a brief discussion of concerns about record quality, and most case studies of batchloading projects identify multiple quality issues found and addressed as part of the project.At the University of Minnesota Libraries (UML), experiences have been much the same as those at other institutions. Librarians learned how to manipulate MARC records in batch and determined how to train staff and design workflows to accommodate batchloading. However, poor record quality continued to trouble catalog and authority control librarians. Years of providing feedback on record quality to vendors had yielded mostly discouraging results. Although librarians had largely mastered the processes for correcting certain kinds of critical problems, dramatic increases in batchloading work indicated a strong need to develop more efficient and systematic batch editing processes. To that end, technical services managers charged a small group of two catalogers and one systems Stacie Traill (trail001@umn.edu) is Cartographic and Electronic Resources Cataloger,

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.
