    Abstract
    State of the art review of the trend towards library and information science professionals becoming deeply involved in the process of knowledge engineering: knowledge engineers being those who build expert systems, or knowledge based systems that emulate the performance of human experts in particular tasks or domains. Shows how library and information science professionals have fared as knowledge engineers and how their involvement relates to the perception of library and information science professionals as knowledge engineers. Discusses the tools and techniques of knowledge engineering as they have been applied to the library and information science domain, and looks at the involvement of library and information science professionals in knowledge engineering outside library and information science

    Abstract
    Reports results of a questionnaire survey designed to identify electronic, public access, community information systems and the degree to which such systems provide consumer health information. The extent and nature of this information is compared with the requirements of government guidelines, and the suitability of theses systems as a major source of consumer health information, both a present and in the future

    Abstract
    Points out that expert systems have great potential to enhance access to information retrieval systems as they use expertise to carry out tasks such as diagnosis and planning and make expertise available to nonexperts. Potential end users of online information retrieval systems are frequently deterred by the complexity of theses systems. Expert systems can mediate between the searcher and the information retrieval system and might be the key both to increasing and end user searching and to improving the quality of searches overall

    Abstract
    Library and information Science (LIS) educators have a responsibility to prepare their graduates for the challenging world of work. Programmes of study for future information professionals differ in content across the world but most contain a module in research methods. The aim of this paper is to review the teaching of research methods at postgraduate level in the departments of Information Science in the United Kingdom to determine current and best practice. There are 17 institutions that teach professionally accredited Information Science related courses at postgraduate level and each provide research methods teaching as preparation for the dissertation component and future employment. The methods of teaching, depth and coverage vary considerably and now is an opportune time to review practices. The last few years has seen many changes. Departments have been diversifying away from purely library and information studies. This has attracted students from a wider range of backgrounds, having a mix of different first degrees, different experiences of research methods training and different levels of IT skills. There has also been a rapid increase in the number of overseas students. At the same time, the use of virtual learning environments and other technologies has increased, and there has been changes, in some departments, towards short fat modules taught in one, two or three weeks as opposed the long thin modules taught over a much longer period of time. Semesterisation has also resulted in the dissertation component of some postgraduate programmes being downgraded in terms of time spent on research and word length. All these factors may impinge on the way research methods should be taught. Are we meeting this challenge?
