Scope: The Initial Article and Title Tag Clean-Up report is a summary of a batch-job that checks for anomalies related to initial articles in the Title fields (245) of bibliographic records. LTS staff run this report monthly, and it generates manual files that list the errors found in the batch-process. These manual files are converted to text files, and are then sent to LTS Cataloging staff for correction.
