Automated Manual Review
Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymoron> defines an oxymoron as "a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms." In the title for this post, this is a turn of phrase that has represented at least one of the holy grails of research within our dept. We asked the question many times: How can we automate what is essentially a manual review of our client's headings? We have 2 kinds of standard reports that are of concern here: * R07 - unmatched primary headings * R10 - heading matches multiple authority records With R07 and R10, we have left the burden of researching these headings up to our clients. For some of you out there, that represents a tremendous number of headings to manually check on your own each time we deliver them to you. Would it be helpful if your unmatched headings report also listed potentially valid headings? Maybe there was a typo in your original heading which caused it to not find a match. Or maybe your name heading is generic and lacking qualifiers. Or perhaps your heading matched two different authorities-but which two authority headings exactly? Our team is currently working very hard on a potential near-match report which we hope to unveil within the next few weeks. We are anticipating replacing the current R07 and R10 reports with this new near-match report as part of our standard offering. Here are a few examples of the report (from our latest build): bib rec id no 700 1_ $a Miller, Stephen H. nb2001044979 100 10 $a Miller, Stephen H., $d 1956- n 83184733 100 1_ $a Miller, Stephen H. $q (Stephen Henry), $d 1943- bib rec id no 700 1_ $a Cheung, Julian. no2011144486 400 1_ $a Cheung, Julian Chi Lam, $d 1971- nb 99009824 100 10 $a Cheung, Juanita bib rec id no 100 1_ $a Kirk, Erika. no2003097342 100 1_ $a Kirk, Erica. no2001034074 100 1_ $a Kirk, Erin.

Paul, yes this would apply to the R07 "Unmatched Series" report as well. Our thoughts with replacing the R07 & R10 reports are just by supplying this new near-match report in their place-but we can still deliver those reports for libraries that would be interested in receiving them. Perhaps for the R07 unmatched series, it might make sense to have us deliver this near-match report but then still deliver R07 for series in collapsed format <http://ac.bslw.com/community/wiki/index.php5/Step_5.1> . This might help reduce the length of that particular report (R07), though the near-match report would definitely increase with two potentially valid headings also listed underneath the original unmatched series heading.
