    Abstract
    1st in a series of articles focusing on the catalogue as an index to the materials in the library collection. Outlines the issues. The catalogue of a university library indexes the materials in the collection but does not always help the users find the information contained in it. Linking of other databases to the catalogue is necessary. Illustrates this with a case study of the Middletown State University, Louisiana, USA, collection

    Abstract
    Discusses the purposes of reference service as imagined by its proponents when it began over 100 years ago. Suggests that despite the introduction of a wide array of new concepts, services, and access methods, the role of the reference librarian has not essentially changed. Argues that the common principles and features of the service must be retained when rethinking or redesigning reference services

    Abstract
    2nd in a series focusing on the catalogue as an index to the materials in the library collection. Reviews changes in the Middletown University Library, Louisiana, USA, library collection 1987-97. Covers: collection growth, catalogue expansion, and the results of linking databases to the online catalogue. Although integrating electronic databases has helped in solving the problem of the catalogue as an index to the collection it has also created new problems as today's catalogues use records that have not been reviewed by local library staff and add indexing for materials that are not part of the catalogue
