Is OCLC outsourcing its cataloging to the moon? Why do I find the following in professional ??? cataloging records? Washington Dc-- I suppose on the moon they do not know how to capitalize/spell DC Adc the map people, instead of ADC and no mention in the record of Alexandria Drafting Company Harpercollins and not HarperCollins etc., etc., I am not a cataloger, so I probably just do not understand something here. This just means our staff has to make the corrections so the records are literate. Not to mention the staffs of every other library using these records. sorry, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Alice C.
