The MLA database record for “The Alternative Sherlock Holmes…” subject field focused more on the general features of the work, including its genre, language, time period of focus, and its bibliography. While the database record included
a few themes of the work, the OPAC focused more on the different themes, although genre, author, and time period were also mentioned. The author and title appeared separately in the MLA record, while the author and title were listed together in the OPAC’s
title field as well as each author listed separately. The OPAC included more physical information about the work including its format (book) and its description (number of pages and thickness), while the database only included the publication type (book).
Interestingly, the records included different ISBN numbers for the work. Because the two systems serve different functions, the database provided more information that could be used to access the record of the work, while the OPAC had one
listing for where the work could be found in the library collection. The database also included information on the copyright for the information contained in the record.
