    Abstract
    Provides an evaluation on the performance of several search engines in searching for several target home pages in the Health subject area. Searches were made on 7 frequently user search engines (AltaVista, Infoseek, AOL NetFind, HotBot, Excite, Lycos and Yahoo) and 5 less frequently used search engines (Electric Library, LookSmart, CNET, DISCOVER, MetaCrawler)

    Abstract
    Describes the experience of data conversion and migration at the libraries of the Home Office (HO) and the Dept. of the Environment (DoE), UK. Both HO and DoE libraries had changed from Anglo-American code cataloguing to AACR2 cataloguing in the mid-1970s. Both libraries were selective in identifying records for conversion initially to BLAISE-LOCAS. Conversion to integrated library systems from BLAISE-LOCAS MARC tapes produced problems in both libraries with location/holdings fields which were largely resolved at HO, but not resolved at DoE. HO experienced problems converting to a system with fixed field lengths. HO converted subject keywords to form a rudimentary, non-standard thesaurus which required the addition of Broader Term and Narrower Term to meet the challenge of computerized searching. DoE converted a non-thesaurus subject index to an authority file, but continued to maintain the index on a stand-alone DataEase application for use by cataloguers. Neither library converted acquisitions data
