Abstract: An experiment using a computer to assign content designators to unedited machine readable bibliographic data to create MARC records is described. Input typing conventions are briefly discussed. A computer program (Assembler Language for DOS) is being developed which analyzes unedited data according to predefined algorithms and builds MARC records. A manual simulation using 150 catalog records was done to test the computer algorithms. The results of the test in terms of accuracy and throughput compared favorably with the current MARC input system in use at the Library of Congress.
