THE TACTICS OF CONVERTING A CATALOGUE TO MACHINE‐READABLE FORM

Abstract

The conversion of large files of catalogue information requires, in addition to the manpower for keypunching, a considerable amount of preediting by professional staff. An experiment in machine editing and tagging of unedited but structured catalogue information demonstrated the possibility of eliminating professional effort from a large majority of the records.
