    Abstract
    Discusses some of the methods of subject access to on-line catalohues (OPACs) and argues that none are entirley satisfactory. Describes 2 methods for improving subject access: best match searching; and automatic query expansion application and discusses their feasibility. Mentions emerging application standards for information retrieval and concludes that existing standards are incompatible with most methods for improving standards

    Abstract
    The author presents the environment of the OPAC as a new revenue stream of high potential. He suggests that the abstracting and indexing community is neglecting this important source and suggests industry-wide adoption of open standards as a remedy

    Abstract
    Addresses the complementarity of cataloguers and librarians and the need for comprehensive access to collections as an introduction to a discussion of developments in the UK and activities af the Book Data and research project at Bath University which has made use of Book Data records. Discusses the problems facing designs of OPACs and the aim of developing the ideal interactive catalogue, the future of bibliographic standards and standards for subject access, the problem of identification and retrieval of information through the interactive catalogue, and the merits of classification in the development of improved subject access

    Abstract
    The Cheshire II online catalog system was designed to provide a bridge between th realms of purely bibliographical information and the rapidly expanding full-text and multimedia collections available online. It is based on a number of national and international standards for data description, communication, and interface technology. The system uses a client-server architecture with X window client communication with an SGML-based probabilistic search engine using the Z39.50 information retrieval protocol

    Abstract
    Reports results of analysis and comparison of full level displays of bibliographic records in 36 North American online catalogues for 5 monographs, for both layout and content, with the ISBD and traditional catalogue carddisplay practive for headings and tracings. Presents a taxonomy of display characteristics found in the sample, including: completeness; visual layout; data sequence; label specifity; and integration of description and access points. Discusses the relationship of display technology and practice to current standards for creating catalogue records, emphasizing the need for content standards reflecting the modular nature of computerized records. Concludes that future OPAC displays will resemble card catalogue records less and less, both visually and in structure and content, and points to the need for further research to gather the information needed to make the transition as smooth as possible

    Abstract
    Online catalogs provide libraries with an opportunity to move away from the traditional card catalogue for the display of bibliographic information. As standards emerge for displaying bibliographic data, librarians should rethink how, where, and which data are included, as well as how that data should be labelled. Call numbers, holdings, locations, and circulation status information should appear together. Location and other related codes intrinsic to call numbers should be translated into plain text

    Abstract
    Examines the use of the Z39.50 Information Retrieval protocol for provision of access to its collections. Z39.50 offers a translation of different search engines developed by library systems suppliers and online database hosts. Traces its development and describes its abstraction and metalanguage, and the TCP/IP and OSI layer. It is being further developed in project ONE - OPAC Network in Europe, and European Union Library Plan project which began in Jan 95, of which the British Library is a partner. It aims to link national library catalogues in an open standards and telecommunications network, and to achieve interoperability by use of Z39.50. Describes the project so far, agreements made, and future developments

    Abstract
    Advances in computer and communication technology technology have had an important impact on OPACs. The client server architecture model, the Internet, protocols, and standards such as Z39.50 have resulted in newly designed interfaces which reduce syntactic and semantic knowledge required to conduct effective online searches. Experimental OPACs have been developed in an attempt to assist users in conceptual transformation of their information needs into searchable queries. These experiments are based primarily on determining users' behaviour at the OPAC terminal, which needs much further study. Other non traditional models for storing and retrieving information should be considered to create an intuitive OPAC

    Abstract
    The paper will discuss the impact on cataloging standards and bibliographic data formats and will point into the direction of a new cataloging environment with different access point accordings to the information requirements of the users. The present subject headings and classification schemes used to index library materials have to be considered obsolete. The aim must be the integration of existing thesauri accepted and used by the acedemic community by utilizing a 'meta language' as a software engineering tool. This 'meta language' will offer access points by means of different facets focusing the information stored, and these facets will be interactivelyselected by the user supporting the demands of his academic field and retrieval practice

    Abstract
    Argues that in library cataloguing and for optional functionality of bibliographic records the indexing of fields and subfields should follow a uniform approach. This would maintain effectiveness in searching, retrieval and display of bibliographic information both within systems and between systems. However, a review of different postings to the AUTOCAT and USMARC discussion lists indicates that the indexing and tagging of cataloguing data do not, at present, follow a consistent approach in online library systems. If the rationale of cataloguing principles is to bring uniformity in bibliographic description and effectiveness in access, they should also address the question of uniform approaches to the indexing of cataloguing data. In this context and in terms of the identification and handling of data elements, cataloguing standards (codes, MARC formats and the Z39.50 standard) should be brought closer, in that they should provide guidelines for the designation of data elements for machine readable records

    Abstract
    Current research on user interfaces to online public access catalogs is reviewed in an attempt to identify research methods and findings applicable to the design of effective user interfaces to online public access catalogs. A broad definition of user interface is employed which includes data structures, in addition to searching and indexing software. The following features of online public access catalogs are discussed: the demonstration of relationships between records, the provision of entry vocabularies, the arrangement of multiple entries on the screen, the provision of access points, the display of single records, and the division of the catalog into separate files or indexes. For each feature, user studies and other research on online public access catalogs are reviewed and those findings summarized which provide insight into user needs concerning that particular feature; issues are identified and directions for further research are suggested. Implications for cataloging codes and standards and system design are discussed

    Abstract
    A discussion document produced following a meeting the Users of Book Industry Standards (UBIS) Bibliographic Standards Working Group at the University of London as part of a project to consider the Survey on the use of UK-MARC by Russell Sweeney published in 1991 by the British Library National Bibliographic Service. Considers the suitability, or otherwise, of the UKMARC format for use in OPACs. Summarizes the issues involved, discussing: the UKMARC exchange format, tagging and coding structure (record complexity, analytical entries, non filing indicators), data content (statements of responsibility, main versus added entry) and records standards

    Abstract
    Standards for user interfaces for access to bibliographic data bases cannot be developed without more complete understanding of the current user, user attitude and capabilities. Gives 3 means of achieving this based on observing the user. 45% of access points in subject searches results in no retrievals. Errors in searching on-line catalogues occur with a 40% no hit title search rate and a 51% no hit author search rate when those records were on the data base. Stresses the importance of fundamental user interface components contained in the IBM staff publication systems guide. Concludes that although there is no such thing as a standard user it is still vital to develop user standards

    Abstract
    Suggests that an appropriate approach in comparing online and card catalogues is to compare the 2 in relation to the processes in which bibliographic records are created (the input stage), manipulated (the storage stage) and retrieved (the output stage). Studies the concepts underlying these processes and reveals major differences between online and card catalogues. These differences are multiplied and widened when moving from input to output to such an extent that online catalogues can be considered as a significant departure from manual catalogues. The redesign for use in an online environment of bibliographical standards which are based on the card catalogue should be based on conceptual as well as practical differences between the online and card catalogues

    Abstract
    Conceptual considerations on possible synergies between hypertext and indexing languages' research. The existence of a common conceptual and theoretical background encourages and facilitates cooperation. It is concluded that the conjunction of the almost biological flexibility of the hypertext and the logical and conceptual consistency of indexing languages is a promise of better and more effective information management systems in the future

    Abstract
    Information retrieval and exploration of work domains through databases and integrated information systems has become increasingly important in many modern work settings (as well as in libraries). The problem space of the users is defined on occasion by the dynamically changing requirements from their tasks and goals. it is argued that IR system design should be based on an analysis of the properties of the work domain, the task situation and the user characteristics. The paper describes a general framework for IR system design that has been used in the design of a library system. A special problem identified from use of the framework in domain analysis of fiction retrieval is treated in more detail: mapping the authors' domain structures to the domain structures expressed in users' needs in indexing and representation of fiction

    Abstract
    Online catalogues and card catalogues can be compared from different perspectives and according to different criteria. Compares the 2 types of catalogue according to the processes in which bibliographic records are created (input stage), manipulated (storage stage) and retrieval (output stage). The concepts underlying these stages are studied, revealing major differences between online and card catalogues, which are multiplied and widened when moving from input and output stage to such an extent that online catalogues can be considered as a significant departure from manual catalogues. The redesign for use in the online environment of bibliographic standards (cataloguing codes, MARC formats and ISBDs) which have been based on the concept of the card catalogue should instead be based on the conceptual as well as the practical differences between the online and the card catalogue
