Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to review the status of linking fields in Rasa Software and their
rate of application in Persian bibliographic records.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study enjoys survey method by applying a researcher-
made checklist.
Findings: This study identifies the difference between the definitions of linking fields represented
by UNIMARC (Universal Machine Readable Cataloging) and Rasa Software.
It also distinguishes that the required linking fields are applied in 21% of Persian Bibliographic
Records.
Conclusion: The results claim that the rate of applying linking fields is low in Persian bibliographic
records. The proper use of UNIMARC linking fields, considering both proper
application of their definitions in the software and their proper use for displaying bibliographic
relations, can pave the way for linking the records.
