Abstract

In this article, we examine some of the proposals which have dealt with the problems in cataloging in 2 different technological contexts: printed-card catalogs and online catalogs. We first look at some of the measures which attempted to deal with the 'crisis in cataloging' at the Library of Congress in the 1940s. Then we address some of the current problems in cataloging in the era of OPACs. In particular, we discuss the extent to which minimal-level cataloging, as defines by AACR and implemented in the OCLC database, works for maps. Our discussion is organized around 2 main groups of access points: controlled vocabulary data elements, including name data elements, and free-text data elements. In closing, we discuss prospects that the next generation of online catalogs uisng the Z39.50 protocol and SGML format might offer to minimal-level cataloging for maps

Abstract

This paper describes an empirical project designed to examine the following questions: (i) what constitutes the concept of "map author," and (ii) of the responsibility functions appearing in a sample of 178 maps under consideration, which responsibility functions participate significantly in the process of map-making? This study, exploratory in nature, considered single-sheet maps produced by three U.S. publishers after 1981 as found in the OCLC online database, retrieved, and examined by the investigator.

Abstract

This article proposes four design principles - The User, Active Learning, Conceptual Model of Teaching, and Modularity - as a conceptual framework of an Information Access Instruction (IAI4). These principles, when put in practice as specific guidelines, deamlessly link information sources together, regardless of their implementation medium, information structure, or interface style. Examples are drawn from a section of four-unit elective undergraduate course taught in the Department of LIS, University of California, Los Angeles

Abstract

The author reports findings from experiments with the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions' (IFLA) Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) as applied to the domain of science fiction, Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions in the Online Computer Library Center's (OCLC) WorldCat. The goal of the study is to gauge the characteristics of bibliographic entities under study, to examine types of relationships these entities exhibit, and to collocate bibliographic entities according to the FRBR group 1 hierarchy of entities identified as works, expressions, manifestations, and items. The study's findings show that by assembling bibliographic records into interrelated clusters and displaying these according to the FRBR entity-relationship model, a new navigational capability in networked digital libraries can be developed.

Abstract

This article describes design considerations of two interrelated programs that together make Learning Portfolio (LEAP) prototype system for accessing engineering information for engineers. The two programs are: Engineering Information Sources and Access (EISA), implemented as a Web-based self-learning prototype system; and Information Sources that Every Engineer should Know; ISEEK adds embedded instructional layer, representative queries, and constitutes the core layer of engineering sources for a beginner engineering student. Of analytical significance, the project has (1) defined indicators of information literacy (IL) for engineering students; (2) developed IL questionnaire to test engineering students' IL skills; (3) developed information literacy profile of engineering students under study; (4) assessed existing information resources, tools and search techniques. Of practical significance, we have: (5) applied students' responses in the design of EISA; (6) implemented the EISA information literacy program for engineers; (7) developed a series of hypertext-based tutorials each dealing with a specific IL issue; and (8) proposed set of the four design principles (i.e., understanding the user; active learning; conceptual model of teaching; and modularity). Finally, the article identifies and discusses future work
