Jay,
That sounds like a real good idea. Do you ever find that it becomes too overwhelming to correct all of them? I’m sure that if you just correct a reasonable amount, it will help future catalogers.

What I’ve started to do as an end-of-the-day wind-down project: after correcting a record in our catalogue, check if records in OCLC with that person as
author need correcting as well. I just did a whole bunch of corrections from Fletcher, Colin to Fletcher, Colin, 1922-2007.
