Sumario:Four bibliographic formats. broadly used in argentine libraries (CEPAL, FOCAO, BIBUN, and SIGEBI), are compared with USMARC and UNIMARC in order to assess their compliance with the recommendations for improvement of subject searches in on-line catalogs, and their possibilities for information exchange witl1 other systems. We conclude that the formats used in Argentina show deficiencies in the treatment of subject headings. identifiers, non-controlled terms, and form/genre terms, having no complementary authority and classification data formats. In addition, several differences in the number and repeatibility of subfields may difficult the information exchange with other national and international systems.
