OCLC's proposed PromptCat service, targeted for release in Spring 1995, offers libraries the potential to obtain full catalog records for approval or firm order books at the same time that books are shipped by the vendor. The Ohio State University Libraries (OSUL) participated in testing and evaluation of the new service in which Baker & Taylor supplied vendor records directly to OCLC. OCLC searched the Online Union Catalog to locate matching bibliographic records and forwarded reports of search results to the library for evaluation. The results of the OSUL study show that we could expect a high degree of quality in terms of record selection and correct match to the bibliographic item when the PromptCat service is fully developed. In virtually all cases where records met match criteria, OSUL would have received the same record that was also selected by cataloging staff. The Promptcat test records reflected a good level of quality relating to accuracy of the bibliographic description, correct access points and valid call numbers. For the majority of records, OSUL did only minimal or no editing of records before accepting them for the local catalog. |
