    Abstract
    Based on experiences at the University of Western Australian Library, it has become evident that LCSH are not acceptable for Australian and/or academic usage. The problems of the list as a documentary language will be examined with consideration of such problems as choice of acceptable terminology, the structure of the list and ways in which libraries can develop theories and co-operative efforts in these areas. There will be reference to the implementation of various suggestions in both a manula and machine environment

    Abstract
    Contends that library catalogues need to be seen as merely part of the information seeker's world and proposes the concept of a learning catalogue for library clients which will capture ways in which clients use data thus providing ideas for the further development of the system. Proposes a client centred system which is separated to maintain the bibliographic database from the mode of presentation of that data to the client. The designer of retrieval systems, by accepting that each client brings a unique view of the world's knowledge base to the information seeking activity, needs to acknowledge that this view of the world must be handled uniquely. By overlaying the idea of a learning component, it is possible to see how future queries might be handled more efficiently and the system can grow with client's developing needs
