[Sigcr-l] Cataloging/classification : how long does it take?

[Margie Hlava]

We created a database of 50,000 internet resources in MARC format with 
subject indexing using the US Library of Congress precoordinate style of 
subject headings.  The work averaged 8 1- 12 records per hour depending on 
the person doing the work.  The task involved finding the resources, 
capturing them, we then ran the HTML header through a program to parse the 
data into as many of the proper fields as we could in advance.  Then we 
finished cataloging them by filling in a catalog module from the Data 
Harmony XIS (XML Intranet System) and using an assisted indexing system to 
suggest the appropriate headings.  We worked from the full text and created 
a short abstract for each bibliographic record.
