This research aims to evaluate bibliographic records available at the database of manuscripts of the Khane-ye Ketab in terms of conformity with cataloguing rules approved and used by National Library of Iran. This research is an applied one and the methodology is an analytical survey in which a checklist has been used as a tool for data collecting. The more cataloguers of manuscripts follow the cataloguing rules the better will be the quality of manuscript cataloguing. The findings indicate that the cataloguers do not care about the bibliographic elements such as place of compilation, statement of responsibility and added entries. As there is no information for the mentioned elements in each of the evaluated records. Also the results show that the highest conformity with cataloguing rules is in the language element at 96 percent while the lowest is in the statement of responsibility which is 95/6 percent.
