Knutson, Gunnar

Library Resources and Technical Services, v34 n1 p24-35 Jan 1990

This study compared the levels and types of errors found in an existing card catalog and a newly created online catalog. It was found that the online catalog was more accurate and presented fewer problems for users. The implications for retrospective conversion and nonconverted records are discussed.
