Abstract

Reports the results of a study, conducted at the National Technical Information Centre and Library (OMIKK), Hungary, to compare 5 popular proprietary CD-ROM searching software packages: OPTIWARE; BRS/Search; ProQuest; SPIRS; and Dialog OnDisc Manager. Software evaluation was based on analysis of a range of CD-ROM bibliographic databases (with the exception of BRS/Search for which the library held no bibliographic databases) and focused on: response times for various activities (logging on, searching, retrieval, display); other performance factors; direct searching features (Boolean operators, proximity operators, arithmetic relations, truncation); index browsing; search strategy handling; display possibilities; output possibilities; and ergonomic and user friendliness factors. No general conclusions are drawn and users are left to draw their own conclusions

Abstract

GENESIS, from SCG, the supplier of the well established library management system BookshelF, is one of the first library management systems to run as a Windows product with a graphical user interface (GUI), and as such is one of the front runners of the next generation of library management systems. The article commences with a brief review of the characteristics of GUI-based systems and proceeds to examine the characteristics of GENESIS. GENSIS is based on a new database environment but retains the same package of modules a BookshelF: Catalogue, Circulation, Thesuaurs, System Defintions, Acquisistion, Serials, Management reporting and System Administration. The GUI interface is simple and easy to use. GENESIS has many of the the features that will characterise a new generation of library management systems

Abstract

Standards are important for quality and interoperability in any system. Bibliographic record creation standards such as MARC 21 (Machine Readable Catalogue), CCF (Common Communication Format), UNIMARC (Universal MARC) and their local variations, are in practice all across the library community. ILMS (Integrated Library Management Systems) are using these standards for the design of databases and the creation of bibliographic records. Their use is important for uniformity of the system and bibliographic data, but there are problems when a library wants to switch over from one system to another using different standards. This paper discusses migration from one record standard to another, mapping of data and related issues. Data exported from CDS/ISIS CCF based records to KOHA MARC 21 based records are discussed as a case study. This methodology, with few modifications, can be applied for migration of data in other bibliographicformats too. Freeware tools can be utilized for migration.

Abstract

Describes the development, by the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, Malaya University, of ONLIS (Online Library Information System), a customized user interface for coputerized MARC cataloguing and information retrieval, targeted for use in small libraries and information centres. Micro CDS/ISIS ver. 3.07 software package and its built in PAscal language were used for the design process and development. Design philosophy centres on the development of a very user friendly and simple interface, capable of mimicking the salient features of a contemporary commercial library package, yet easy to implement and maintain in a small library environment requiring little or no technical expertise. The system incorporates many new features and comprises 2 main components: data entry and file maintenace; and information retrieval. A security system is incorporated into the former environment to ensure data integrity and regulate important file maintenance tasks. While the system is ready for immediate implementation in libraries, modifications and enhancements are currently being undertaken to make it a truly reliable product. Concludes that some degree of user training in MARC and cataloguing using AACR2 is necessary to get the maximum benefits from the systems

Abstract

CDS/ISIS is a menu-driven generalized information storage and retrieval system designed specifically for the computerized management of structured non-numerical data bases. The unique characteristic of CDS/ISIS is that it is specifically designed to handle fields (and consequently records) of varying length, thus allowing, on the one hand, an optimum utilization of disk storage and, on the other hand, a complete freedom in defining the maximum length of each field. Although some features of CDS/ISIS require some knowledge of and experience with computerized information systems, once an application has been designed the system may be used by persons having little or no prior computer experience.

Abstract

Reviews Idealist for Windows from Blackwell Scientific costing 295 pounds. Idealist is a database management system that handles text. Its features include an inverted file structure to allow rapid retrieval by any word in the text, contextual searching and variable length fields. It is very flexible and handles unstructured records as well. It is able to handle structured records with specific fields. The full Windows version can contain up to 16.000 records per database. The Windows NT version for 32 bit machines will cope with 1 million records per database

Abstract

CDS/ISIS was used to develop a database of references for publications of the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), India. The CLRI conducts both fundamental and applied research into leather, leather products, leather auxiliaries and chemicals, and on the environmental and economic aspects of the leather industry. The database was designed to serve not only as a bibliographic tool but also as a component of an information system for management. Describes the construction of the database, the indexing technique chosen, the thesaurus provided, and problems encountered in the development of the database

Abstract

Allegro is a database system designed for variable data, developed since 1980 at Braunschweig Technical University Library. It is specifically adaptable to library needs and can accomodate formats like MARC, including authority control. Provides a brief background to the development of computers in libraries since the 1970s. After 13 years of development, Allegro covers systems from very small single user databases to state libraries and large multi-user applications. Discusses design philosophy, systems requirements, software principles, data structures, functions, openness, security, availability, performance, flexibility, user interface, resources and 10 community profiles of Allegro users
