contents	The OCLC Serials Sub-System: A First Evaluation. Edgar, Neal L. And Others Cataloging Databases Evaluation Feasibility Studies Information Retrieval Information Systems Library Networks Library Technical Processes Online Systems Serials This examination of the OCLC serials control sub-system points to positive and negative aspects of the OCLC system as they relate to serials, and evaluates the system's serials cataloging capabilities. While this report assumes a knowledge of the basic operations of OCLC, it describes the system in general, its function in cataloging, and its serials check-in component, concluding that no widely accepted evidence exists to prove that the OCLC serials sub-system is any faster than a well-run manual system. Illustrations include diagrams of the OCLC database and examples of system functions. (FM)
