    Abstract
    Conceptualizes 'information theory' as a collective term for all information related theoretical models produced by a number of disciplines. There is a consensus in the scholarly community that information science and informatics does not, at present, have a focused systematic foundation of theoretical knowledge. Argues that this open endedness of the theoretical context can work to the advantage of the information sciences because of its capacity to accomodate future multidisciplinary research results. Briefly reviews the characteristics of information theories and offers perspectives on the implications of these characteristics for information planning and practice. Concludes that information research, including individual, societal, environmental and technological aspects, benefits from the flexibility of an open conceptual framework that closely resembles the dynamic world or reality

    Abstract
    The language and contents of the mass communications industry, and the products produced through and for commerical computerized information systems and networks, may appeal to relatively undeveloped aspects of our intellectual and spiritual faculties and could degrade rationalism and thus jeopardize the production of scientific knowledge. In particular, recent decades have seen a shift away from conceptual linguistic symbolism, historically used for scientific research and communication, to iconic symbolism and visual language, which may be poorly suited to scientific thought. Discusses the relationship between complex computing and telecommunications and both the content and the vehicles of learning and scientific research for the 21st century

    Abstract
    Defines a national information policy, identifying 6 component areas. Describes some specific aspects of government action that can be used as a test of commitment to an national information policy. Suggests support for electronic information industries is one of the key methods by which a government can influence information policy, citing the case of the USA as an example. More specifically, considers freedom of information, and policy towards public and national libraries. Argues for the creation of a Coalition for Public Information in each major country, to provide a forum where members of the information community can participate in public policy discussions about technical, economic and social questions arising from the use of information derived from the new electronic communication and information delivery technologies

    Abstract
    Case Based Reasoning (CBR) is discussed in connection with a wide variety of knowledge aspects. Obviously knowledge acquisition under conditions of rapid and increasingly disruptive change will necessarily rely on the proper use of case experience. The following remarks emerged from practice oriented teaching/learning in the domians of social sciences, practical philosophy, didactics and epistemology. The main interest will be directed to methodical concepts of knowledge transfer, in particular to didactics and learning within the teaching/learning system

    Abstract
    Discusses various ethical issues which are germane to the global information age. Argues that such profuse and rapid technological change demands a reexamination of how society is defined and understood in this increasingly global environment where technology bridges temporal and spatial boundaries. Alongside the comes the necessity for a reevaluation of societal and informational values. Discusses cross-cultural problems associated with the information age; philosophical aspects of technology; and problems of social equity arising from the concept of information rich versus the information poor. Considers the ethical role of libraries in the information age concluding that libraries can dissolve the lines that have been drawn between the have and the have-nots. Librarians must understand and adhere to their traditional ethical guidelines while also moving forward and readjusting wit - not to - technology

    Abstract
    Highlights the major trends in information needs and use in a survey of the literature from the later 1940s to the present time. The shortcomings of early studies, particularly questionnaire surveys, are found to be defective methodology and shallow conceptualization. More sophisticated and refined techniques were introduced in the mid 1960s leading to more empirical research and to the study of informal transmission systems. The 1970s still revealed a need for greater conceptualization. New paradigms and approaches emerged in the 1980s leading to considerations of the environment in which information is used and distinctions between the cognitive and social aspects of information.

    Abstract
    Full benefit may be derived from the technological potential of the Internet on condition that serious attentiion is given to the social, political and ethical aspects, which are often barriers to the free and multi-directional access to information, especially in developing countries. Lists causes of these barriers - 'disarticulations' within a society - and emphasises their importance in developing countries. Examines possible different communication structures in a society and their effects. The traditional principle of free flow of information is not sufficient in the advancing information society; there is a need for a principle which deals more specifically with the 'activation', 'mediation' and 'networking' of the needs and opinions at the different levels of society

    Abstract
    The UK has not followed other countries in developing framworks of policies to guide their transition into information societies in a consistent and systematic way. Analyzes the current UK policies using a matrix which identifies 3 levels of policy (industrial, organization and social) and 4 cross cutting themes (information technology, information markets, human resources and legislation and regulation). Concludes that together, these various initiatives add up to a national strategy but it is one that lacks coordination and cohesion

    Abstract
    Considers the differences between the intellectual, emotional and social development of children and adults can lead to difficulties in understanding and communication, in the case of children, during the reference interview. Presents a state of the art review of studies of reference interviews conducted with children in public libraries. Concludes that, in order to have a more successful reference interview, librarians must take account of the specific differences between adults and children

    Abstract
    Points to weaknesses of conceptual modelling languages that are oriented towards certain aspects of the problem domain of information systems development. Modelling languages are needed that allow modellers to: freely choose to represent a wide and extensible range of aspects of problem domain phenomena continguent on the problems at hand; simultaneously co-represent several aspects of the same problem domain phenomenon whenever needed; reflect semantical relations between these aspects in the problem domain models; and extend the set of kinds of aspects that can be represented and visualised throughout problem analysis as understanding of the problem domain and the problems at hand increases. Outlines an approach called facet modelling of real-world problem domains to deal with the complexity of contemporary analysis problems. Defines and visualizes facet models, discusses facet modelling in relation to other recent ideas and techniques in the information system development field. Case studies are currently in progress to evaluate various implications of the facet modelling approach empirically

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study to examine the patterns of self citation in 6 disciplines distributed among the physical and social sciences and humanities. Sample articles were examined to deermine the relative numbers and ages of self citations and citations to other in the bibliographies and to the exposure given to each type of citation in the text of the articles. significant differences were found in the number and age of citations between disciplines. Overall, 9% of all citations were self citations; 15% of physical sciences citations were self citations, as opposed to 6% in the social sciences and 3% in the humanities. Within disciplines, there was no significantly different amount of coverage between self citations and citations to others. Overall, it appears that a lack of substantive differences in self citation behaviour is consistent across disciplines

    Abstract
    Analyses the OPAC at the Australian Catholic University in New South Wales, Castle Hill Campus using an object oriented model following Rumbaugh's methodology, as described in 'Object oriented modelling and design, 1991'. The process of analysis, although difficult, is one of the most effective ways of determining each function of a system of this kind. The methodology is especially useful as the data structure, behavioural and functional aspects of the system are displayed in separate diagrams. This is an advantage for those analysing systems, who can display many factors without confusing different aspects involved in the analysis process

    Abstract
    Inquiries made by academic library users are more complex than they may appear. Successful information retrieval based on complex queries is a function of cataloguing, classification, and the librarian's interpretation. Explores aspects of complexitiy using a proposed query as an example

    Abstract
    Analyses the hierarchical structure of subject headings in the cluster of the social sciences in the 12th ed. of the LCSH. Recommends some headings presently in the cluster for elimination, and suggests some not related at present. Headings pertinent to social processes, social organisation, and culture are grouped in 3 social clusters: action theory, culture, and social structure. Makes suggestions for establishing new subject headings. The intention of these changes is to create the cluster of headings corresponding to the social theory of present day and reflecting interrelationships among social phenomena and levels of generalisation
