Characteristics of Member-Established Headings in the OCLC Database
Proceedings of Authority Control in the 21st Century: An Invitational Conference
(1996)
Abstract
Offers insights and recommendations on "gap" headings--OCLC member-contributed headings not covered by the LC name authority file--and suggests further analysis to identify headings for which "just in time" authority control would be appropriate. Extends what was learned in OCLC's early 1990s automated authority control project that corrected about 5.6 million headings in the OCLC database.
