- Abstract
- Reference services for data files used in quantitative social research are complicated for several facts. Providing assistance requires specialized knowledge of how the data were collected, how they are organized and how they will be used. Data files cannot be used at all without the requisite computing support. This article presents an overview of the literature on reference services for social research, differentiates between data for information and data for research, suggests a general approach to providing services for these materials based on traditional archives and government documents reference, and gives a practical framework for handling queries

- Abstract
- The strategic vision for information services at the University of Maryland at Baltimore incorporates the integration concept advocated by the National Libary of Medicine. Computing, library and telecommunications services report to a single vice president; services are being redesigned for optimal functionality. Recent accomplishments include transmitting radiographic images between the campus network and the Johns Hopkins and televising interactive grand rounds - other projects also target networking visual information. A new health sciences library/information services building, scheduled to open in 1997, will house the infrastructure for the virtual library

- Abstract
- Planning online reference services has become more complex because of the number of alternatives that have become available. The librarian can choose from local tape loads, CD-ROM, gateways, or tradtional online access for variable or fixed fees. Getting an optimal mix to match local needs has become a complex planning issue. discusses the planning challenges for the 90s, including cost consideration, locating online information, building the local telecommunications and computing infrastructure, and ensuring access for all

- Abstract
- Provides an overview of the concept of a campus-wide information system (CWIS), focusing on the use of Gopher software to provide distributed information access. Suggests an administrative paradigm for such a system that stresses cooperation between various campus entities and emphazises the need for the library, academic computing, and administration to rationally divide resposibilities. Discusses some of the possible sociological effects of the CWIS including the impact on the traditional university culture

- Abstract
- In December 1993 Tilburg University and Elsevier Science started a project with respect to the full text electronic delivery of journal articles. Users will be able to browse through articles from their desktop and make prints of relevant articles. Several research issues which are of importance both for the publisher and for the library are part of the project. It is a next step in the campus-wide electronic information provision at Tilburg University. The university created a well elaborated IT infrastructure which was already able to integrate library services with other computing facilities on 2.000 desktop PCs

- Abstract
- The deployment of campus computer networks, combined with the evolution of tools like Gopher and WWW, have made it possible for universities to make available online versions of documents traditionally offered in paper form. The term 'campus-wide information system' or CWIS refers to a system that brings together online documents and ways to access campus computing resources under a single comprehensive umbrella. Describes the origins of the CWIS concept, listing pioneering CWIS sites in the US. Offers advice on building a CWIS including: choosing a platform; the root menu and organization of documents; types of information to offer and documenting the documents

- Abstract
- The Household Information Systems (HIS) project in Queen Margaret College was funded to explore the use of new media in a group of Edinburgh households (Davenport & Higgins, 1995). One of the motivations of the HIS 'programme' was to find a suitable theoretical and/or exploratory framework, which takes account of multiple aspects of behaviour surrounding technologies, and thus avoids assumptions about their role in information-seeking or other isolated activities. A focus on single activities would occlude knowledge of other motivations: bonding, killing time, defining boundaries. In Phase One, `information management' rather than `information seeking' was used as a conceptual framework, embracing work on the `life cycle' of ICTs as illustrated by Kopytoffs `biography of things' approach (1986), Johnson's cultural circuit (1986), research on households as micro-organisations by McCrone and his colleagues (1994), and work by Silverstone and others on ICTs in the home as tools for internal and external adaptation (Silverstone, 1994, Silverstone et al 1994). The `management' framework has been productive - Phase One allowed us to identify patterns of ICT acquisition and deployment in the home, and, more interestingly, structures of appropriation which reflect rules, roles and responsibilities in individual households. These constitute what may be called a `reproduction lattice' (adapting terminology used by Kling (1987) in his analysis of the `web of computing' in organisations), a structure which captures the political and cultural economy of a household. Phase One's findings are consistent with those of other researchers working in the area of domestic consumption of ICTs but a major limitation of the work is the homogeneous nature of the respondents. Among our Edinburgh 'household managers', internal culture was a more compelling explanation for use than technical functionality.

- Abstract
- Reports results of a survey, conducted at Nassau Community College; New York State, of academic reference librarians' use of the Internet at the reference desk at 2 year and 4 year colleges and universities throughout New York State. Concludes that: library managers must understand the value of the Internet and provide access at the reference desk; they must allow adequate time, staff and advanced training; support from academic computing centres and specialists is essential; reference librarians mus develop the necessary attitudes and skills; library involvement in the organization and management of the Internet is essential; and graduate library schools must offer courses on the Internet

- Abstract
- Professional librarians operate in an environment characterized by a high level of change. In order to respond to this information environment, it is essential for science and engineering librarians to keep pace with the staggering growth in research information and resources, and with the heightened expectation of the populations with which they interact. The paradox of the need for subject specificity coupled with the need for diversity of subject knowledge presents reference librarians with an unusual challenge. Continuing education programs that are woven into the fabric of job responsibilities can be utilized effectively to enhance the abilities of reference librarians and the quality of services delivered. In this article, Cromer and Testi present a model of a structured, integrated continuing education program for reference librarians utilized at the University of New Mexico's Centennial Science and Engineering Library

- Abstract
- Currently, few resources exist to guide libraries in the cataloguing of community information using the new USMARC Format for Cammunity Information (1993). In developing a community information database, Queens Borough Public Library, New York City, formulated their own cataloguing procedures for applying AACR2, LoC File Interpretations, and USMARC Format for Community Information to community information. Their practices include entering corporate names directly whenever possible and assigning LC subject headings for classes of persons and topics, adding neighbourhood level geographic subdivisions. The guidelines were specially designed to aid non cataloguers in cataloguing community information and have enabled library to maintain consistency in handling corporate names and in assigning subject headings, while creating database that is highly accessible to library staff and users

- Abstract
- Describes the variety of search services supporting library reference functions offered by the RLG in the USA. The best known of these is RLIN, the massive bibliographic database and related services originally developed for shared cataloguing. In the last few years RLG has added CitaDel, an online search system that provides access to indexing/abstracting databases; and Zephyr, a Z39.50 server that amkes the RLIN and CitaDel databases searchable through a library's online catalogue. RLG also offers document delivery connections, including Ariel and Internet based document delivery software, for a full complement of online reference support for academic and public libraries
