“…The number of records to audit depends on the acceptable margin of error in the result, but it does not depend on the size of the population (provided fewer than 10% of records are to be sampled, which is almost always the case). Ready-reckoner tables are available (Kiger & Wise, 1993); for a margin of error of 4.9%, 3.5% or 2.5%, choose a sample of 400, 800 or 1500 items, respectively. If the error rate in the catalogue can be estimated, however roughly, then it is often possible to justify smaller samples using a formula such as that provided by Hernon (1994).…”

The current need for performance measurement and quality targets for services to users requires suitable performance indicators for libraries to use. This paper looks at the self-assessment audit tool for catalogue quality developed by UKOLN in collaboration with Essex libraries. For the tool a checklist of errors was drawn up, which can then be used to assess the quality of records within a catalogue using a sample of library stock. The tool can be used to assess the quality of catalogue records for monographs and non-book materials (but not serials), for complete collections or parts of collections and for records created at different periods. This paper describes the tool and the process of making the assessment and reports on the results of the pilot study carried out at the University of Bath Library in 2000.

“…28 Since this first example of a legal code provided remedy to all regardless of social status, 3,800 years ago, it can be understood providing such a right is an instinctive idea. 29 If it is, it would mean demanding justice via legal review and the right to remedy is never selfish; the right to remedy reflects law by nature, not a "spoiled" fantasy. However, it is understandable that many citizens under flawed legal systems in countries across the world may fairly think having a right to remedy is a privilege.…”

This article explores the fundamental concept of justice and the right to a remedy in private law. Specifically, the question of whether the belief that justice will prevail is a spoiled concept to have, and only shared by populaces in places without corruption, rule of law issues, etc. The paper delves into the historical and global recognition of the rights of obligees, and scrutinizes the diminishing trust and conviction in justice, especially in jurisdictions plagued by corruption and weak rule of law. Bribery and corruption in judicial systems undermine access to remedies, particularly for the poor, and contribute to the erosion of faith in the judiciary. The analysis extends to non-state judiciaries, exploring the role of tribal courts in addressing private law matters in regions with challenges in formal legal systems. Ultimately, the paper contends that the instinct for justice is a timeless and universal human trait, inherent in the evolution of legal systems. While corruption and external influences can erode confidence, the desire for a just remedy remains engrained. Keywords: justice, corruption, judicial corruption, instinctive access to justice, sociology of remedies and their opinions, comparative legal systems
