    Abstract
    Discusses the kind of database quality problems regularly encountered. Describes the work currently being undertaken in this field by EUSIDIC (European Association of Information Services), by SCOUG (Southern California Online User Group) and by the Centre for Information Quality Management (CIQM) itself, which is investigating the idea of database labelling as a solution to the quality issue

    Abstract
    Reports on a Centre for Information Quality Management (CIQM) BLRRD funded project which investigated the quality of databases in general use in the UK. Gives a literature review of quality in library and information services. Reports the results of a CIQM questionnaire survey on the quality problems of databases and their affect on users. Carries out databases evaluations of: INSPEC on ESA-IRS, INSPEC on KR Data-Star, INSPEC on UMI CD-ROM, BNB on CD-ROM, and Information Science Abstracts Plus CD-ROM. Sets out a methodology for evaluation of bibliographic databases

    Abstract
    Discusses the issue of quality as applied to databases. Describes the role of the Centre for Information Quality Management (CIQM) set up by the Library Association and the UK Online User Group (UKOLUG), in acting as a clearing house to which database users could report problems relating to the quality of any aspect of a database being used. The Centre compiles statistics on database quality issues which can then be forwarded to the database producers and hosts. Champions the use of standardized database labels which include not only basic information about the database but also a quality assurance statement
