Title: A Comparison of New OCLC/PRISM Searches with Earlier OCLC Derived Searches
Author: Park, Amey L.
Appeared in: Cataloging & Classification Quarterly
Paging: Volume 15 (1993) nr. 4 pages 89-105
Year: 1993-02-19
Contents: Effective OCLC searching is important for libraries that face budget constraints at a time of cost increases to search the OCLC database. A study was designed to determine the most effective ways to search OCLC, comparing traditional and new searches made available when PRISM was implemented, when both time and accuracy are factors. The best overall search strategy was found to be the traditional name/title (4,4) search. The new scan title search was found to be the most effective search when time is not a factor or when there are possible variations in the title entry of the item.
