ITR/IM: Creating a Latin American Union Catalogue and Bibliography to 1850

加州大学河滨分校（University of California, Riverside）的目录学研究中心（Center for bibliography Studies）正在创建一个1851年以前拉丁美洲印行的联合目录。现有的印刷书目大部分是旧的、不完整的或不存在的。该中心已将其所能识别的所有现存书目和目录进行了检索，产生了超过85,000个单独条目。根据这项赠款，将修改关键条目以符合MARC标准，消除重复的馆藏，合并馆藏记录，形成一个有60-70 000条记录的初始数据库。将创建统一的库符号。结果文件将载入研究图书馆信息网络，供公众查阅。将开始从北美和南美参与的图书馆提交的机器可读文件中增加额外记录的过程，开发匹配算法，并增加新的馆藏和记录以及对缩微胶片传真的引用。学者们将有机会获得一个单一的来源来识别幸存的印记，以及在哪里可以找到它们。文件本身可以通过布尔搜索在所有字段中搜索。图书馆将能够使用该文件进行复制编目，并获取其馆藏的机器可读记录，以便载入其在线公共目录。

The Center for Bibliographical Studies at the University of California, Riverside, is creating a union catalog of Latin American imprints to 1851. Existing printed bibliographies are for the most part old and incomplete or non-existent. The Center has keyed all the extant bibliographies and catalogs it can identify that are within scope, producing some over 85,000 separate entries. Under this grant the keyed entries will be modifed to fit MARC standards, duplicate holdings eliminated and holdings records consolidated forming an initial data base of 60-70,000 records. Uniform library symbols will be created. The resulting file will be mounted in the Research Libraries Information Network for public access. The process of adding additional records from machine-readable files submitted by participating libraries in North and South America will begin, matching algorithms developed, and new holdings and records as well as citations to microfilm facsimiles added. Scholars will have access to a single source for identifying surviving imprints and where they can be found. The file itself will be searchable across all fields through Boolean searching. Libraries will be able to use the file for copy cataloging and obtaining machine-readable records of their holdings for loading into their online public catalogs.
