Abstract

The database of the Research Libraries Group's Research Libraries Information Network contains some 25 million records in all USMARC formats for bibliographic and authorities data, as well as a number of additional files for specialized data. These records include source data from the Library of Congress and other national bibliographic agencies, and records contributed by RLG member institutions, and are used both for technical processing and in support of RLG's cooperative programs. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Cyrillic vernacular records are included in the central database; work on Hebrew is in progress. Future developments will result in the addition of diverse kinds of data, including nonbibliographic data, to RLIN.

Abstract

US academic libraries were surveyed in Apr 87 to determine which types of instructional methodes and materials were used in bibliographic instruction. Results of the survey were compared to data gathered in 1979. The most sriking results show that although roughly the same number of libraries offered course-related or noncourse-related lectures in 1987 as in 79, more institutions have required bibliographic instruction sessions and/or tours. The amount of publicity, evaluation, and print and nonprint materials produced has increased during the 80s, but fewer credit courses, term paper clinics, and audiotape programmes are offered.

Abstract

Outlines the ADONIS system: an experiment in which the contents of over 200 biomedical journals are scanned and stored on CD-ROM describes how the DOCMATCH project uses the Universal Standard Bibliographic Code to link bibliographic data bases to the ADONIS workstation, thus automating the ink from reference to full text data base. The DOCMATCH workstation at document supply centres divides orders into ADONIS material and non-ADONIS material so that the ADONIS workstation can then process the material automatically.

Abstract

Describes the application of the CDS/ISIS software package (version 1.0) for the creation of a subject index to the National Union Catalogue of Scientific Periodicals in India (NUCSSI) data base.

Abstract

Presents a detailed evaluation of the CD-ROM data base Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), published by Library Association Publishing Ltd in partnership with SilverPlatter Information Inc. Describes the SilcerPlatter search software and gives results of test searches carried out using the CD-ROM and DIALOG on-line versions of LISA. The annual cost of subscribing to LISA on CD-ROM is 995 US dollars or 750 dollars to subscribers of other SilverPlatter data bases. LISA on CD-ROM will be of most interest to institutions which make heavy use of the on-line version and are not discouraged by the low updating frequency.

Abstract

This article describes three important bibliographic databases in Latin America, two of which have been created by national library networks. In the networks shared cataloging has become increasingly important. The databases contain much cataloging information not available outside Latin America. During the last two years the national libraries of Venezuela and Chile have exchanged their data and furnished it to a library in Colombia which is beginning the automation process. The article describes the formation of the networks from the point of view of database building, and examines prospects for increasing exchanges of data in the region.

Abstract

A controlled set of searches have been conducted by a group of searchers, at Manchester Polytechnic Library, on a trial subset of the British National Bibliography (BNB) data base on both CD-ROM and on-line. Various measures of search effectiveness and effiency were examined in relation to the effect of the differing user interface, including recall, precision, search time, user satisfaction and other more subjective factors. Discusses the potential for further research on the evaluation of CD-ROM.
