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

Abstract

Reports on one area of research in an Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib) MODELS (MOving to Distributed Environments for Library Services) supporting study in 3 investigative areas: examination of current database producers' guidelines for their abstract writers; a brief survey of abstracts in some traditional online databases; and a detailed survey of abstracts from 3 types of electronic database (print sourced online databases, Internet subject trees or directories, and Internet gateways). Examination of database producers' guidelines, reported here, gave a clear view of the intentions behind professionally produced traditional (printed index based) database abstracts and provided a benchmark against which to judge the conclusions of the larger investigations into abstract style, readability and content
