Popis:	Minimal level upgrades are performed routinely on OCLC monographic records that are produced by the Cataloging Department at Morris Library, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. These records are improved for three reasons: ( I ) to provide the most complete record for library users; (2) to maintain the library's commitment to a high level of cataloging; (3) to enhitnce record quality for the online catalog. Recent shifts in staffing required an examination of this cataloging activity to determine its feasibility. A sample of nearly 200 minimal level records were investigated over the course of a year. The study includes: number of minimal level upgrades attempted, success rate, differences observed between our attempt and records successfully altcred by another institution, and the effect this activity had on the local online catalog.
