Automatic Format Recognition of MARC Bibliographic Elements: A Review and Projection
Brett J. Butler · Information Technology and Libraries · 1974
A review and discussion of the technique of automatic format recognition (AFR) of bibliographic data are presented. A comparison is made of the record-building facilities of the Library of Congress, the University of California (both AFR techniques), and the Ohio College Library Center (non-AFR). A projection of a next logical generation is described.
