Abstract
A sample of 18th, 19th and 20th-Century historical star atlases from the Royal Institute and Observatory of the Spanish Navy and the Linda Hall Library have been selected in order to identify the most frequently supplied scientific information. This work shows how the quality of bibliographic records could be improved, not only by adding more specialized description fields, but also by ensuring that the existing ones are being properly used by cataloguers. A series of new technical parameters is proposed, along with guidelines on how to find them, thus making the task of identifying such parameters easier for cataloguers.
