Abstract

The research aims at evaluating the file of the names of Iraqi bodies in the library and manuscripts of Al-Abbas Holy Shrine through the technical procedures followed by the indexers in the Center for Indexing and Information Systems. The study is also intended to identify the extent of application of international rules and standards related to drafting by approved header entries for the names of Iraqi bodies and the fields associated with them in the authority record. The latest rules included the description and availability of sources (WAM: RDA) and the MARC 21 communication form, in terms of the methodology used, the implementation procedures related to the technical aspects, problems, challenges and methods of facing them, as well as the identification of quality control when it has been matched with the regional and international authority files. To accomplish this research, the descriptive approach (case study) was adopted to describe and evaluate the file of the names of Iraqi bodies in the library and manuscripts index of the Al-Abbas Holy Shrine. Among the most important data collection tools were the relevant sources, personal interviews, notes, and a checklist for the library and manuscript database.
