In this project it is shown that under certain conditions the checking for duplicates while loading bibliographic data into an online catalog can be replaced by a statistical estimation. Due to the selected significance level (of 90%) and tolerance bounds (10%) the minimum of the needed sample size is calculated, chosen from the population at random and verified by hand.
The result of this examination is regarded in further consequence as a valid result for the total quantity.
