The purpose of this study is to understand the current state of cataloging practice in NBINet partner libraries, as well as their demand for and satisfaction with NBINet services. This research conducted a questionnaire survey to the NBINet cooperative member libraries, and then conducted an analysis research based on the results of the questionnaire survey. The main findings of this study include: 1. There are obvious differences in the cataloging standards adopted by different libraries; 2. The biggest problem encountered by libraries when conducting copy cataloging is that the number of bibliographic records yielded from the query for the same work is too many, thus it takes tremendous effort and time to verify and identify the most appropriate record for copy cataloging; 3. Libraries that implement RDA cataloging rules for cataloging have increased significantly; 4. Among the various services provided by NBINet, libraries have the highest demand for the services related with “copy cataloging” and “bibliographic search,” and have the least demand for the service related to “authority control;” 5. In addition to the NBINet database, the “ISBN Catalog”provided by the NCL- ISBN Agency in Taiwan and the “OCLC WorldCat” are the other two main sources for partner libraries to download Chinese and Western-language bibliographic records; 6. As for the satisfaction degree towards the services provided by the NCL Bibliographic Information Center, the criterion of “staff performance and services” received the highest degree of satisfaction, and the lowest satisfaction degree was about the “NBINet Website” and the “incentives for partner libraries for their contribution in uploading bibliographic records and authority records;” 7. In general, the average satisfaction degree towards the NCL Bibliographic Information Center was at the “satisfactory” level; 8. The opinion that some partner libraries shared is that they wish the NBINet system could allow member libraries to log in to alter/ amend their bibliographic records; 9. It was observed that the responses from libraries concerning some specific questions might be very different due to the property/ mission differences of their library. Finally, the author had done a comparison with the findings of the survey conducted in 2006, and made suggestions for future consideration in the conclusion, wishing that this research could benefit the development of NBINet cooperative cataloging practice in the future. |
