✦ Synopsis

Bibliographical databases frequently have a few long, repetitive strings such as the recurring names of voluminous authors. Potter [Library Trends. 30(l): 21-39; 19811 observed this characteristic of bibliographical databases in his sample from the University of Illinois library catalog. This article presents a solution to the problem of loading repetitive bibliographical information in a microcomputer-based relational databasemanagement system. Normalization theory does not explicitly address the characteristics of bibliographical relational databases. The representational redundancy design saves space in relational database tables by removing long, frequently occurring strings to separate tables where they can be referenced by shorter surrogates in a main table. This design was suggested by some reflections by Kent (Data and Reality, Basic Assumptions in Data Processing Reconsidered. Amsterdam: North-Holland; 1978) and by the example of MERLIN [Program. lO(4): 123-134; 19781.
