BIBLIOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION, ARRANGEMENT, AND RETRIEVAL

Abstract

The design of bibliographic records for computer input is explored. The elements of a record provide bibliographic description, serve as retrieval keys, facilitate ordered filing, and indicate locations. The effect of each of these functions on the form of the record is discussed. Problems are raised that must be resolved before an optimal record can be designed.
