EXEMPLARSPEZIFISCHE ERSCHLIESSUNG IM ÖSTERREICHISCHEN BIBLIOTHEKENVERBUND – ERGEBNISSE EINER ARBEITSGRUPPE DER ZENTRALEN REDAKTION.

The importance of cataloguing on an item level – i.e., the presentation of special features as well as data on the history of a particular book in the catalogue – increased in recent years due to research on and reconstruction of old and valuable holdings, research concerning holdings of Nazi-provenance, and digitization. In order to find common solutions for cataloguing, but especially for the network-wide presentation and searchability of item level information, a working group of the Austrian Cataloguing Committee was established. The article presents the results of the working group, including working documents for indexing as well as the necessary set-up of the Consortium Search Interface, which allows for specific searches, item-specific links and, last but not least, the provisional use of authority data.
