- The National Coordinated Cataloging Program: An Assessment of the Pilot Project. Academic Libraries Bibliographic Databases Cost Effectiveness Economic Factors Higher Education Information Storage Library Automation Library Collections Machine Readable Cataloging Online Catalogs Pilot Projects Standards Tables (Data) This report is an assessment of the National Coordinated Cataloging Program (NCCP)--a pilot project to test the idea that a set of libraries, working with the Library of Congress, can produce complete and accurate cataloging records to national standards for national distribution--and is composed of several papers and a summary report by the Bibliographic Services Study Committee (BSSC). Questions and issues addressed are: (1) the kinds of titles that should be covered by NCCP; (2) how many libraries should be in NCCP; (3) how the costs and savings of NCCP can be optimized; (4) whether the Library of Congress and the participants hold a common view of the optimum standard for a national-level quality record; (5) economic aspects of the pilot project; (6) an overview of other data considered; (7) a survey of copy cataloging practices at Association of Research Libraries (ARL) libraries; and (8) costs and cost benefits of distributed cataloging to Library of Congress standards. Tables, figures, references, and appendices are included in some chapters. (MAB)
