- Abstract
- This study examines problems caused by initial articles in library catalogs. The problematic records observed are those whose titles begin with a word erroneously considered to be an article at the retrieval stage. Many retrieval algorithms edit queries by removing initial words corresponding to articles found in an exclusion list even whether the initial word is an article or not. Consequently, a certain number of documents remain more difficult to find. The study also examines user behavior during known-item retrieval using the title index in library catalogs, concentrating on the problems caused by the presence of an initial article or of a word homograph to an article. Measures of success and effectiveness are taken to determine if retrieval is affected in such cases.

- Abstract
- Recently, the Library of Congress adopted the pinyin Romanization system for transcribing Chinese data in its bibliographic records. In its canonical form, pinyin aggregates Chinese "words" into single linguistic units, but pinyin entries could be constructed following either a monosyllabic or a polysyllabic pattern. Although the former is easier and less costly to implement, the latter method is potentially more beneficial for end-users, as it reduces ambiguity, and generates a much larger variety of indexable terms. The current study investigates if following the polysyllabic method improves retrieval efficiency and effectiveness in item-specific searching within online bibliographic databases. Analysis of the results revealed that aggregation of monosyllables does improve efficiency significantly (p < .05), especially during keyword searches, while effectiveness remains mainly unaffected.

- Abstract
- Today, two Romanization systems for Chinese data are in use in most libraries in the Western world: 1) Wade-Giles, and 2) Hanyu pinyin (simply referred to as pinyin). In 1997, the Library of Congress finally officially announced the adoption of pinyin for Romanizing Chinese data in its bibliographic records. One of the main problems in implementing the pinyin standard for library use is that pinyin, as opposed to Wade-Giles, aggregates Chinese "words" into single linguistic units. Chinese characters represent monosyllabic morphemes rather than words and are equally spaced from one another, and the Chinese text, in its original form, does not provide visual cues as to where a word starts or ends. When the script is romanized it is however essential that syllables or words be separated from one another, since, in most information retrieval techniques, the identification of "visual words" is required. In this respect, the Romanized strings could be divided either in monosyllables or in polysyllable words. This study aims to explore the impact of using either unaggregated pinyin (monosyllabic) or aggregated pinyin (polysyllabic) Romanization in Chinese-language bibliographic records. An experiment, using transaction log analysis, was carried out to observe variations in the retrieval performance of title searches-both phrase and keyword-in a large OPAC of Chinese language records. General results are presented and a summary of the pros and cons of using either method is given

- Abstract
- Since its creation in 1996, the French chapter of ISKO has been concerned with knowledge organization issues. This topic has been dealt with from different angles: knowledge organization structures, tools for mediation, forms and mechanisms for knowledge sharing. Given that these issues are at the center of information production and access as well as knowledge dissemination, the 8 th edition of the ISKO-France conference aimed to focus specifically on the subject of stability and dynamism in the concepts and paradigms underlying knowledge organization research. Eleven years after the sixth International ISKO Conference organized by the Faculty of Information Studies at the University of Toronto on this very theme, the French ISKO chapter, convinced of the importance of this theme, proposed to revisit it.
