Cataloging Consistency in Access Points: Academic Libraries of Turkey
Özet
Cataloging quality plays a crucial role in libraries. In this context, this study investigates the adherence of access points in
bibliographic records to content and format standards. We
employed the qualitative descriptive method and analyzed
2,695 catalog records from seven academic libraries in Turkey.
We analyzed MARC fields for access points to see whether the
bibliographic records adhere to AACR2 and MARC standards.
Furthermore, we provide exemplary cases of common nonadherent records. Results demonstrated that analyzed records
have inconsistencies from 2% to 75% for the analyzed MARC
fields. This study recommends that academic libraries provide
ongoing training for catalogers.
