8  Shelf-ready completeness

This analysis is the implementation of the following paper:

Emma Booth (2020) Quality of Shelf-Ready Metadata. Analysis of survey responses and recommendations for suppliers Pontefract (UK): National Acquisitions Group, 2020. p 31. https://nag.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/NAG-Quality-of-Shelf-Ready-Metadata-Survey-Analysis-and-Recommendations_FINAL_June2020.pdf

The main purpose of the report is to highlight which fields of the printed and electronic book records are important when the records are coming from different suppliers. 50 libraries participated in the survey, each selected which fields are important to them. The report listed those fields which gets the highest scores.

The current calculation based on this list of essential fields. If all data elements specified are available in the record it gets the full score, if only some of them, it gets a proportional score. E.g. under 250 (edition statement) there are two subfields. If both are available, it gets score 44. If only one of them, it gets the half of it, 22, and if none, it gets 0. For 1XX, 6XX, 7XX and 8XX the record gets the full scores if at least one of those fields (with subfield $a) is available. The total score became the average. The theoretical maximum score would be 28.44, which could be accessed if all the data elements are available in the record.
