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

位于滨江的加州大学的书目研究中心正在创建一个截至1851年的拉丁美洲印记联合目录。 现有的印刷书目大部分是旧的、不完整的或根本不存在的。 该中心已将它所能确定的范围内的所有现存书目和目录键入，产生了大约85 000多个单独的条目。 根据这项赠款，将修改键控条目，以符合MARC标准，消除重复馆藏，合并馆藏记录，形成一个60- 70 000条记录的初始数据库。 将创建统一的库符号。 所产生的文件将被安装在研究图书馆信息网络中，供公众访问。 将开始从南北美洲参与图书馆提交的机读档案中增加记录的工作，开发匹配算法，增加新的馆藏和记录以及缩微胶片传真的引文。 学者们将有机会获得一个单一的来源，以确定幸存的印记，并在哪里可以找到他们。文件本身将在所有领域通过布尔搜索搜索。 图书馆将能够使用该文件进行复制编目，并获得其馆藏的机器可读记录，以加载到其在线公共目录中。

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.
