The Creation and Persistence of Misinformation in Shared Library Catalogs: Language and Subject Knowledge in a Technological Era. Champaign-Urbana, Ill.: Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Univ. of Illinois (Occasional Papers, no. 211), 2002. 33p. $8 (ISBN 087845120X). 2002-09-01 2 .pdf application/pdf 1921 162 47 As his title makes clear, Bade’s focus is on the number and persistence of errors in shared cataloging databases such as OCLC and RLIN, a problem he sees as only wors- ening with time.
