Entry Element in The Name of an Institution
Subscribe/Renew Journal
An opinion Survey among about 1,000 readers is made on the choice of the Entry Element in the name of an institution, used as the Heading of a Catalogue Entry. The results are tabulated under four heads. Generally speaking, the Subject of purview of the Institution appears to be preferred by the majority of readers. This implies that the name of the Subject of purview has got the highest Recall Value. This finding is of use in applying the Canon of Recall Value. The Entry Element indicated by the Canon of Prepotence Can be determined objectively with the aid of statistical calculus. But, this is not possible in the case of the Canon of Recall Value. Its application has to depend upon the opinion of mature research workers. This Opinion Survey was prompted by the DRTC Mid-year Seminar (1970) on Cataloguing. The Survey has shown that in the majority of cases the Canon of Recall Value can be easily applied. However, there are certain types of cases needing a further survey.
