- Abstract
- Proposes a model of a hypermedia software package fronting an existing database that would be applicable to the type of database used by museums for use by the public developed by Loughborough University, Department of Information and Library Studies, and Leicester University, Department of Museums Studies. Museums have text databases of their collections that, for public use, would require navigational access. Focuses on the design of a hypermedia front end for a hypothetical museum, using services information and object records from real museums. The resulting Hypermuse system consists of a 386 personal computer running dBase as a back end and an Apple Macintosh LC running HyperCard as the front end: a serial link, managed at each end by the packages pcAnywhere and Commstalk respectively, connects the machines. When evaluated, the prototype system was found to be basically sound but in need of minor improvements in the front end. Concludes that the concept is viable for implementation in museums

- Abstract
- Hypermedia offers a new paradigm for the design of information systems, yet there are few working applications. The best situation is for a database to hold information and a hypermedia package to provide the interface. Explains why museum information systems are ideal for investigating the augmentation of traditional databases with hypermedia. 2 leading examples in the UK are the Micro Gallery at the National Gallery and the Design Museum public catalogue. Describes a prototype development of an interface for the visiting public to allow access to the museum database. Object records from Leicestershire Museums local collection and the George III collection of early scientific instruments from the Science Museum, London, were used. Object records were stored on an IBM PC in dBase databases. The hypermedia front-end was built using Hypercard on a Macintosh LC computer. Covers system design and evaluation

- Abstract
- Defines cryptography and related terminology, and examines the design and operation of an encryption algorithm, using the example of the US Data Encryption Standard (DES). Describes public key cryptosystems, emphasising their revolutionary nature. Considers storage and transmission applications of cryptography in records management, including the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) area. Proposes some novel applications (such as a virtual records centre). Suggests that although the law gas yet to catch up with developments in cryptography, when it does cryptography will become central to file management

- Abstract
- Presents a state of the art review of WWW search engines from the earliest Internet precursors and noting: prblems inherent in the current range of WWW search engines; problems of searching the WWW (link persistence and lack of integrated search software); and analyzing the resulting search engine types (keyword or directory). Compares search engines of all types across their generic features (database content, retrieval software, and search interface), rather than on a search engine by search engine basis. Considers wider information access issues arising from the nature of the Internet and Web search engines and proposes a general strategy for using web search engines. Comments on the irony that a unitary global information space accessible via 1 freely accessible software package (WWW client browser) should be so balkanized by a plethora of search engines in complete reverse of the traditional world of printed, CD-ROM and online databases, where a limited number and comparatively stable range of search tools attemps to homogenize a large number of physically separate and disparate collections

- 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
- Museums cannot publicly display their complete collections because there is never sufficient space in their exhibition galleries to allow this; so the greater part of their collections must be kept in storage. Thus the public are deprived of knowing the full extent of a museum's collection, which runs counter to the mission of a public museum. The current generation of museum information systems are unsuitable for public use. The best situation would be for a database to hold the stored information and for a hypermedia package to provide a public interface to the database. Describes the evolution of such a system at Loughborough University and discusses its architecture. Responses have been favourable

- Abstract
- This new ed. builds on the success of the decision making flowchart techniques found in 'Using AACR2'. The 1st ed. has proved to be particularly valuable as a teaching aid in the training of staff. The printed algorithms are updated in this ed. in line with the AACR2 1988 Revision using a technique which enables the rules to be applied in a sequence of logical steps. A brief introduction to author cataloguing at the beginning of the book highlights how these techniques might be utilized. A new feature of this edition is the inclusion of a disk. The algorithms containd in the printed volume have been transformed into sets of rules, the algorithms can be used for training cataloguers or in order to investigate the structure of the expert system itself. The expert system shell runs on a PC compatible using DOS 3.2 or above, with a minimum of 512 K memory

- Abstract
- It is argued that the current generation of online catalogues do not meet basic user expectations about how to search for information. After a brief examination of virtual reality and its associated technology, a new form of online catalogue, the 'virtual reality library' is proposed. Users browse an information space, a computer-controlled set of shelf orderings for items. Its form, workings and design are investigated in detail. The concept of the virtual reality library is then applied to information resources which either have no physical repository or have one which is not accessible to users

- Examines the effects of the Internet on the work of descriptive cataloguer. Most of the effects stem from services available via the WWW and Web sites. These services either put the desriptive cataloguer in closer contact with suppliers, publishers, or vendors,or offer access to a vast range of reference or cataloguing information. Such services provided by the WWW will have a profound influence on the practice of descriptove cataloguing
