Hoeppner, Athena – Computers in Libraries, 2012
Librarians are familiar with the single-line form, the consolidated index, which represents a very large portion of a library's print and online collection.

This effort is being…

This approach to Web…

Tennant, Roy – Library Journal, 2004
Libraries must increasingly accommodate bibliographic records encoded with a variety of standards and emerging standards, including Dublin Core, MODS, and VRA Core.
