- W2166688558 abstract "Samples were drawn from two historic cataloging backlogs (one general and one consisting of Slavic language materials) at the Ohio State University. Collection development, cataloging, and preservation evaluations of the samples were used to estimate how many items were still wanted and to determine the resources that would be required to process those items. The results of these studies were used to determine that reduction of the general could be accomplished as part of the regular workflow because only approximately one-fourth of the materials were still wanted. However, reduction of the Slavic would require a special project due to a higher retention rate and the language expertise required for processing. Library Literature covering 1986 - 1989 lists eleven articles on cataloging backlogs; only six are listed for the period 1955 - 1985. These figures suggest that backlogs again are becoming the major concern that they were in the early 1950s, when the Journal of Cataloging and Classification devoted an entire issue (Fall 1951) to the topic. The Library of Congress recently developed an arrearage reduction management to address its mind-boggling of 38 million unprocessed items. Implementation of the plan is dependent upon the appropriation of funds by Congress. 1 That backlogs exist in many libraries is no secret — surveys have shown that they are common (although the term backlog has been defined in various ways). Behrens and Smith surveyed 112 academic libraries in the United States holding more than 250,000 volumes and found that backlogs existed in 44 (85%) of the 52 responding libraries. 2 Agnew, Landram, and Richards conducted a survey of Association of Research Libraries (ARL) member libraries in 1984 and found that 68 (77%) of the 88 responding libraries had backlogs representing from 1% to 10% of their total collections. More than three-fourths of the libraries with backlogs had had them over ten years. 3 These results were consistent with those obtained by Piternick when he surveyed ARL libraries and selected others in 1968. At that time, 67 of the 86 responding libraries (78%) had backlogs. 4 These studies imply that backlogs did not disappear during the 1960s and 1970s even though they were mentioned infrequently in the library literature. A distinction must be made between normal and historic processing backlogs. Normal backlogs routinely develop whenever the volume of incoming materials is high and sometimes are used to stabilize the cataloging workflow when the volume is low. They also might be created purposefully by libraries preferring to wait for cataloging copy or authority records to become available from the bibliographic networks. Normal backlogs probably are desirable as long as they can be contained: that is, as long as periods of growth are offset regularly by periods of reduction. In contrast, the historic backlogs found in many libraries often consist of thousands of volumes that have been awaiting cataloging for years. Of the 60 libraries that participated in the 1989 National Shelflist Count, 27 (45%) reported that they had processing backlogs of more than" @default.
