Abstract
This paper documents a study of cataloging records describing documents available from the Superintendent of Documents which were input to the OCLC data base prior toMonthly Catalog MARC II records. The June 1977 edition of the SuDocs' Publications Reference File (PRF) was surveyed to determined (1) to what extent titles in this file with pre-1976 imprints which are available from the SuDocs were also cited in OCLC, (2) whether certain elements of their bibliographic description were included in those citations, and (3) what the source of that cataloging was. A description of the PRF and a sampling methodology for surveying a microfiche file are also presented. It is shown that while most titles are cited in OCLC, the accuracy and completeness of the cataloging is poor.
