Abstract

This paper presents findings from a study-in-progress which address the paucity of research concerning which bibliographic, and particularly descriptive, elements should be included in a record so as to facilitate identification and retrieval of information. Data from both checklist and focus group methodologies were compared to provide a client-oriented framework for assessing content in bibliographic records, and to highlight gaps between user preferences and the availability and presentation of elements in some existing bibliographic systems.
