Abstract

The Keyword File Title Classification System is now widely employed in private and public organisations throughout Australia 2 commercial versions of which exist - one developed by J. Eddis Linton and the other by the New South Wales Records Management Office - and both of which are addressed. Explains the system in principle, reviews its development, discusses responses to a simple survey presented to Western Australian users and critically assesses it both in the light of consulting activities and survey findings

Abstract

Discusses the compatibility of CD-ROM databases and local area networks with notes on: troubleshooting, daily maintenance, CD-ROM databses versus traditional printed services, user training, and the burnout and stress which library staff face. In light of tightening budgets and limited space, LANs are challenging traditional book and periodical budgets, and placing new demands on available library resources and space.

Abstract

The training of librarians in content analysis undergoes influences resulting both from the realities existing in the various application fields and from technological innovations. The present contribution attempts to identify components of such training that are necessary for a future-oriented instruction, and it stresses the importance of furnishing a sound theoretical basis, especially in the light of technological developments. Purpose of the training is to provide the foundation for 'action competence' on the part of the students

Abstract

Describes the challenges encountered in the cataloguing of electronic media in the light of proposed changes to legal deposit. These included: how to install and de-install the software and application of the 20 per cent rule of LCSH. The British Library is now prepared for the possibility of extended legal deposit for electronic media

Abstract

Suggestion that the utilitarian approach to information services which created the concepts of recall, precision, relevance, pertinence, effectiveness, etc. should be given up against a better service to the user, more comfort for hom to access knowledge without delay and difficulties. Sees knowledge organization as the basis of the information sphere and proposes to reflect the problem of knowledge organization anew in the light of the comfortableness problem

Abstract

Examines copyright from an international perspective, looking at what constitutes copyright in different countries; the rights enjoyed by a copyright; owner; infringement by restricted acts; existing international and European treaties; electronic copyright and contracts; the definition of literary works; and fair dealing. Focuses in particular on the implications of electronic document delivery. Copyright law does not keep up with technical developments, making publishers nervous of the new technologies. In the light of the Follett Report the time seems right for a radical rethink, and the various parties involved should grasp this opportunity

Abstract

Discusses the TREC programme as a major enterprise in information retrieval research. It reviews its structure as an evaluation exercise, characterises the methods of indexing and retrieval being tested within it in terms of the approaches to system performance factors these represent; analyses the test results for solid, overall conclusions that can be drawn from them; and, in the light of the particular features of the test data, assesses TREC both for generally applicable findings that emerge from it and for directions it offers for future research

Abstract

In light of the increasing availability and use of foreign MARC records, this article explores French cataloging rules in relation to AACR2R. After providing background on the French rules and discussing their format, the article compares them with AACR2R in detail. All areas compared reveal noteworthy differences. The most significant ones are found in the rules for choice of access points, for uniform titles, and for reduced bibliographic description

Abstract

The history of user evaluation of reference service is traced and related to other methods of reference evaluation, including librarian self report of success, behavioral guidelines, and ubobtrusive observation. The evidence to be derived from presently available user evaluations is considered in the light of criteria for a reference evaluation instrument. Concludes that reference success cannot be explained by any one group of factors, and that the best evaluation will utilize many methods

Abstract

The first part of this examination begins with the prescientific are, ca. 3.400 BC. The 2nd from ca. 1.600 AD to the present, omits the explosion of quantity and variety of information, but follows the main thread, in the light of psychology and logic. The view, although much clearer, is still controversial. Strong relations tie the origins of science with those of information science. The role of the latter will probably be enhanced as future civilizations become more closely dependent on classification of ideas and on science and technology

Abstract

Describes the development of reference services in public libraries and the importance of standards. Explains the need for proper marketing and systematic evaluation, both qualitative and quantitative. Analyses an unobtrusive telephone test of 15 libraries in the UK and gives the results of interviews with 455 users of 13 public reference libraries. Satisfactory results were obtained for straightforward questions but an occasional tendency towards flippancy by staff was highlighted. A further disquieting feature which came to light was the number of people who did not approach staff for help.

Abstract

Reviews the development of the catalogue in the light of changing needs and changing technology. Current development of the interactive catalogue coincides with an increased need to test user reaction to library services in the academic sector because of the growing emphasis on quality assessment. The coincidence has been exploited at Hull and Newcastle Universities, using Geac online catalogues to survey library users electronically. Describes the 2 experiments and analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the approach

Abstract

Examines a simple model of an information retrieval technology, and uses this model to examine the optimal use of such a technology. If optimal behaviour is understood, then observed behaviour can be used to shed light on the user's objective function, and how a user's behaviour changes as the environment chamges can be analyzed for various specifications of the user's objective function. Shows how user satisfaction varies with the underlying stochastic behaviour of the retrieval process

Abstract

Considers what researchers seek from subject information, and what their future needs will be. Discusses how libraries can deal with recognising these needs and meeting them, in the light of restricted budgets. Use of LCSH should be reinstated across the UK library community as it is the most internationally accepted system available to meet the needs of libraries in the likely circumstances

Abstract

Considers South Africa's national bibliographic activities in the light of the need for more equitable access to information resources. Outlines several factors which are important for improving access to information for previously marginalized communities, and for general development purposes. The issues include: funds available for existing and prospective services; the heterogeneous clientele for future services; the phenomenon of composite CD-ROMs; the question of ownership of bibliographic tools; standardization problems; cooperative bibliographic activities; the information value of grey literature; and recognizing the broader base of stakeholders in national bibliographic services

Abstract

Reports a review of the literature on information seeking behaviour in fields other than information science. Fields covered were: innovation research, health communication studies; organizational decision making; and information requirements in information systems design. The review was an integrated review on the basis of what may be contributed to information science. Sets out a general model of information seeking behaviour and shows how that model may be reviewed in the light of work in other fields
