- Abstract
- Academic libraries have moved toward providing social networking features, such as tagging, in their library catalogs. To explore whether user tags can enhance access to individual literary works, the author obtained a sample of individual works of English and American literature from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries from a large academic library catalog and searched them in LibraryThing. The author compared match rates, the availability of subject headings and tags across various literary forms, and the terminology used in tags versus controlled-vocabulary headings on a subset of records. In addition, she evaluated the usefulness of available LibraryThing tags for the library catalog records that lacked subject headings. Options for utilizing the subject terms available in sources outside the local catalog also are discussed.

- Abstract
- This paper traces the development of a mentoring program for aspiring catalogers, sponsored and administered by the ALCTS CCS Committee on Education, Training, and Recruitment for Cataloging (CETRC). Background is given on the reasons for establishing the program, as well as the two pilot programs that preceded the current, ongoing mentoring service. Results of the assessment of the second pilot are shared. Though CETRC still faces challenges in sustaining the program on an ongoing basis, the Committee feels it is a valuable endeavor worth continuing.

- Abstract
- Reports results of a study to determine the feasibility of routine subject cataloguing of fiction and drama and whether the information provided by dust jacket copy or back of the book copy on paperback books provides enough information to apply LCSH to fictional works using the Guidelines of the Subcommittee on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction, Drama etc. of the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services, ALA, and how many headings of each type outlined in the Guidelines would typically by assigned using dust jacket copy. Such sources usually provide sufficient information to apply subject headings

- Abstract
- Aims to discover whether known item searches are possible with some of the most popular search engines on the WWW and if the results retrieved using such a search would be satisfactory to users. 4 major search engines (InfoSeek, Excite, AltaVista and Lycos) were tested and compared, using the most sophisticated search techniques available. 39 Web sites were selected and searched by title, and ranked according to the relevance and order of the displayed results. Concludes that these search engines were clearly not designed with known item searches in mind and most users searching the Web are unschooled in the intricacies of database searching and do not know how to construct complex search queries or used advanced searching techniques to the fullest potential. Infoseek Guide was rated the best with Excite and AltaVista also achieving satisfactory results. Lycos A2Z was not ot rated as being well equipped for this type of searching
