crl-12736	Bregzis, Ritvars	Computers and Early Books (Book Review)	1975-05-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1355	100	59	Aside from its principal objective the project produced a wealth of statistical data about the distribution of materials by date, language, and numbers of copies of works in the various libraries; about the relative merits and costs of various methods in cap- turing bibliographic data for machine-read- able transcription; about the problems in- volved in several methods and devices used in the transcription; and about the prob- lems which arose in computer matching and printing of bibliographic records, rang- ing from identification of data structures to representation of characters in a large array of languages. There is much in the pages of the LOC Report pointing in the direction of a sophisticated simplicity inherent in biblio- graphic data as contrasted with our current- ly prevailing and unquestioned reliance on systematically exhaustive accumulation of interpreted bibliographic data as a basis for future direction of computerized manage- ment of bibliographic records.	cache/crl-12736.pdf	txt/crl-12736.txt
