Typographical Errors in Library Databases

Typographical Errors in Library Databases Terry Ballard has collected the most common spelling and typographical errors in our catalogs. This is important work, since an error can scatter references defeating one of the prime reasons for cataloging, to bring together like works. I'm planning to check a few from his list every day. In a few weeks I should be through the most common errors. There is an e-mail list for the topic as well as the Web pages showing the most common errors found.

I began checking some of these in our catalog and have to admit I found some.
