[Evergreen-catalogers] Question on statistics or protocols for bib record cleanup

[Kate Coleman]

Janet, did you get any off-list replies to this question? I'm interested.

We are part of a consortium. Many of those libraries are small/rural and
don't have dedicated cataloging staff. That puts a lot of the
responsibility on the bigger libraries in the consortium that do have
cataloging staff. My staff of three fix/merge/overlay an average of
1,000(ish) bibs a month, just the three of us. This is just done in the
workflow of cataloging, batch loading vendor records, etc. I'm very curious
if there are established protocols.
