Quality of catalogue records of university libraries in karnataka: A study
(GYANKOSH: The Journal of Library and Information Management, 2018) Chandrappa; Harinarayana, N. S.
Quality is the prime concern in every field. Quality in catalogue records refers mainly to the accuracy, comprehensiveness and adherence to standards. 52 common catalogue records of Mysore University Library (MUL) Bangalore University Library (BUL) and Gulbarga University Library (GUL) were tested for the cataloguing quality. The records were tested for their deficiency in their contents, inconsistency errors, and typos of editing & input. The findings show that the percentage of error rate in BUL is higher than GUL and MUL. The study showed the ratio of error rates to be 3.5:6:7 (MUL: GUL: BUL).

(Journal of Library Development, 2018-08) Harinarayana, N. S.; Chandrappa
Subject cataloguing is considered more intellectually intriguing than the descriptive cataloguing. Quality of subject catalogues have been the area of interest for researchers. The present study attempted to analyse the subject catalogue records from four university libraries in Karnataka. The result showed that the subject access to the holdings of the university libraries need to be improved. Subject cataloguers have to pay immediate attention in improving the subject access.
