  • Twenty-five years of Bibliographic Control research at the university of Bradford
    Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 2007
    Co-Authors: F H Ayres, J. M. Ridley
    Abstract:

    SUMMARY This article describes cooperation between Bradford University Library and the Department of Computing that has resulted in nine research projects over a twenty-five year period on various aspects of Bibliographic Control. It recounts the origins of the Universal Standard Bibliographic Code (USBC) and its development for the identification of both books and non-book material. It then describes various aspects of the projects including simulating the merging necessary to set up a national database, the cleaning of a database, its use in inter-library lending, and its application together with expert systems for the quality Control of databases. The final project is BOPAC that has used modern technology to create faster and better access to a number of library catalogues worldwide and has demonstrated that authority Control in its present form is not effective.

  • Bibliographic Control at the cross roads
    Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 1995
    Co-Authors: F H Ayres
    Abstract:

    At the beginning of the eighties the Library Establishment was engaged in a battle with the heretics over the implementation of AACR2. Those who were in favour of the new code wanted immediate implementation. The critics, however, wanted delay, arguing that the disruption of implementation would damage library services and be very expensive. They also argued that delay would mean that progress in automation would make implementation easier in a few years' time. No one would claim that the early implementation was a complete disaster. Few, however, could pretend that it made a dramatic impact in improving the quality of our catalogues while some would argue that it had made them worse. Since there are no figures for the cost of the implementation, the critics are justified in arguing that the Library of Congress and the British Library paid a heavy price in order to ensure that implementation took place. Today we face a new challenge. Bibliographic Control is at a stage of development which could lead to a dramatic improvement in its scope and effectiveness. This will not be done by producing another edition of AACR. Nor will it be done by maintaining that the main entry is essential. Horizons need to be widened. Principles need to be reexamined. New methods need to be considered and the whole exercise must be linked to automation and not the traditional methods of the past. This paper is an attempt to look at some of the possibilities.

  • the ifla core programme for universal Bibliographic Control and international marc ubcim recent developments and current state
    Alexandria: The Journal of National and International Library and Information Issues, 1994
    Co-Authors: M.-f. Plassard
    Abstract:

    The UBCIM Programme seeks to coordinate activities aimed at the development of systems and standards of Bibliographic Control at the national level and to facilitate the international exchange of Bibliographic data. One of its first accomplishments, the International Standard Bibliographic Description, was completed with the publication in 1992 of the revised ISBG(G). Guidelines for subject authority and reference entries were issued in 1993. Seminars and workshops on UBC and UNIMARC are being organized in various parts of the world. In 1992 project UNIBASE was launched, with the aim of producing a sample database of UNIMARC records using CDI/ISIS software, in support of the educational objectives of the UBCIM Programme; it includes a variety of facilities for searching, displaying and printing, but not for editing and updating records. Some Eastern European libraries that are starting to automate are considering UNIMARC as their internal format. A substantial part of UBCIM's activities is represented by ...
