| contents | Toward a National Serials Data Program: Final Report of the National Serials Pilot Project. Johnson, Donald W. Automation Databases National Libraries Periodicals Serials Systems Development The National Serials Pilot Project, Phase II of the National Serials Data Program, is described. Utilizing the MARC format for processing serials, the objectives were: (1) to create a machine-readable file containing live serials in the fields of science and technology, (2) to produce a number of preliminary listings, and (3) to produce one or more written reports covering procedures, problems and results. Data were input via an administrative terminal system to a 360/40 computer; processing of data was done on a 360/50 computer. Among the conclusions and recommendations are: (1) a national serials data bank in machine-readable form is both technically and economically feasible; (2) such a data bank should have its own machine-readable authority file for corporate names; (3) input and output in upper case only would be more satisfactory from both the systems viewpoint and the cost viewpoint, but probably would not be accepted by the library community; and (4) serious consideration should be given to the question of applicability of existing cataloging rules in the determination of main entry in a machine-readable file.
