Abstract

In 2004, the ALCTS (Association for Library Collections & Technical Services) Cataloging and Classification Section Subject Analysis Committee (SAC) produced the report Recommendations for Providing Access to, Display of, Navigation within and among, and Modifications of Existing Practice Regarding Subject Reference Structures in Automated Systems. This document is one important outcome of nearly ten years' work by three SAC (Subject Analysis Committee) subcommittees investigating the theoretical, pragmatic, and political dimensions of improving subject access through better use of reference structure data. The work of those subcommittees is reviewed and their recommendations are described and summarized. Potential future effects of the report are discussed, as is a snapshot view of several major automation systems' current compliance with the recommendations.

Abstract

Reprts results of a survey, conducted by the CAVAL Reference Interest Group on AARNet and the Internet and WWW, the principal aim of which was to investigate the extent to which reference librarians in academic libraries use workshops available on the Internet. The survey, which involved 11 university libraires in Victoria, Australia, also covered: the extent and frequency of use of network facilities and services such as AARNet; library staff training in the use of the networks; expertise in the use of the networks; training given by reference librarians to academic staff and students; and other comments related to the Internet. Results indicated a great deal of Internet facilities by reference librarians in university libraries in Victoria, with the commonest services used being electronic mail, discussion lists, national and international library catalogues, and periodicals databases. There is increasing use of Gophers, either produced by home institutions or those of their institutions. A major problem identified was the amount of time needed to train Internet users. FTP, as a means of transferring computerized files from one computer to another, appears to be relatively little used

"1. The LCSH/MeSH Mapping Project The problems that are created when two or more information languages reside in the same system have been widely studied. Most of the solutions to these problems involve the integration or harmonization of the languages (Maniez, 1997). One method for integrating multiple information languages in library catalogues and other databases is to map terms in each language to corresponding terms in the other languages (Mandel, 1987). This is the approach taken by the Northwestem University libraries in a project to map the Library of Congress Subject Heading (LCSH) system to the National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus. The mapping project was begun in 1990 and continues at the present time. The project was divided into two phases: (1) a retrospective phase that mapped LCSH as it existed an April 14, 1990 and the 1989 MeSH; and (2) an ongoing phase during which the mapping data have been updated to take into account additions, deletions and changes to the two information languages."
