Consistency in choice and form of main entry, 1982 and 1989: A comparison of Library of Congress monograph cataloging with that of the British Library and the national libraries of Australia and Canada

The major factors contributing to the patterns observed in the data appeared to be: the operation of an NLC/LC agreement on the use of one another's personal name headings under certain circumstances (1989 Canadian sample); a greater tendency by NLC to elaborate personal name headings (both Canadian samples); an NLA policy artificially lengthening short titles proper (1989 Australian sample); and the withdrawal of an LC policy providing guidance in the same area (all 1989 samples).
