Abstract

The term bibliographic record is defined whitin the context of computerbased catalogues. The data elements contained in bibliographic records, cataloguing rules, and MARC format are analized. The scarcity of empirical data on the information needed by the user of the library catalogue is shown, and after giving the results of some studies that have tried to establish the amount of information that must be included in a bibliographic record, the different proposals for a minimal- level cataloguing and their effects on information retrieval are reviewed. The objectives, scope and possible consequences of the Study on the Functional Scire. 2 : 1 (en.-jun. 1996). Requirements of Bibliographic Records -which is now being developed by IFLA- are described. Then, mention is made of the core record project implemented by the American Cooperative Cataloging Council (CCC). (Author)
