Intactness and Accuracy of Online and Card Catalogs: ALIS II vs. Card Catalog at Texas A&M University.

Cook, Colleen; Payne, Leila

Information Technology and Libraries, v10 n3 p163-71 Sep 1991

A study was conducted at Texas A&M University that compared the intactness (i.e., the presence or absence of a bibliographic record) and the accuracy of the bibliographic data in the public card catalog and in the online catalog (ALIS II). Results indicate the online catalog was less intact, but more accurate. (two references) (LRW)
