    Abstract
    As the number of publications on the WWW grows exponentially there is an urgent need for a standardised system of bibliographic description. In the Netherlands the PICA national union catalogue has created WebCAT to catalogue online publications from universities and research institutes. However, use of WebCAT is restricted to participating institutions. The DutchESS (Dutch Electronic Subject Service) and SURF-ACE Search Enginges projects provide a partial solution to the problems on indexing online publications. The ultimate solution lies in the development of standardised metadata architecture

    Abstract
    Despite predictions of the paperless office all organizations are faced with growing mountains of printed documents. The amount of material to be processed has forced a move away from traditional archive methods to online automated systems. Moreover, in the commercial sector the importance of an efficient archive section is frequently underestimated. However, those responsible for archive services continue to seek to improve efficiency. Automated systems will, in future, play a wider role in administering such collections

    Abstract
    In an attempt to reduce administrative costs a survey was undertaken in 1992 of the opportunities for cooperation in governmant libraries in the Netherlands. The survey concentrated on shared cataloguing and subject indexing of periodical articles. The study showed that subject interests varied to much from library to make cooperation cost-effective. Moreover, as too few records were likely to be obtained from the Dutch online union catalogue it was decided that a cooperative network was not feasible

    Abstract
    In 1989 Brabant Catholic University was the first university in the Netherlands to provide an online campus information service. Since that date other universities in the Netherlands have inaugurated systems providing a wide range of information services, including access to the respective library's catalogues. Ease of use varies from system to system and there is an urgent need to standardize system commands. Libraries can provide useful help in creating such services. In return ther services provide a useful adjunct to the organization's library

    Abstract
    A survey of catalogue use in 1993 at Utrecht University in the Netherlands showed considerable dissatisfaction with the online catalogue's subject search facilities. Of those who used subject searching 64% preferred subject headings against only 2% who chose classification schedules. Library users make little use of the existing facilities for assistance and leaflets which are available in the library. It has, therefore, been decided to provide a programme of instruction in library use and to move towards a unified system of subject access to the library's catalogue

    Abstract
    Because of the individual character of museums the use of online catalogues to describe objects in the collections in the Netherlands has lagged behind that of libraries. In 1993 the MIRO (Museale Informatieverzorgingen Registratie Opleidingen) project was inaugurated to identify probllem areas and devise solutions. The project identified 4 areas for which training is required for museum staff: description of objects, compilation of indexes, automation in museums, and the use of multimedia systems. Following the project's report the Dutch government has dedicated extra funds for museum automation

    Abstract
    At a conference in the Netherlands in Dec 1995 cataloguing, which has traditionally been regarded as the heart of librarianship, was criticised for being slow and costly. However, the Durch Gemeenschappelijk Geautometiseerd Catalogiseersystem (Shared Online Catalogue Network) enables libraries to contribute and receive good quality catalogue records at substantial savings in cost and time. PICA (Project for Integrated Catalogue Automation), which is responsible for the GGC, is currently examining ways to speed up the process. Other sources for records include library suppliers and external agencies

    Abstract
    A review of EndNote Plus which enables users to create and export lists of references for use in wordprocessing packages. The system has been available for some time, but a new version (2.3) has improved the links between database and wordprocessing packages. Creation of reference lists is a simple task and searching is rapid, although indexing is rather slow. Documentation and online help screens are more that adequate and an active discussion group is maintained by the supplier. It is particular suitable in conjunction with Windows

    Abstract
    Existing classification systems require constant expansion to accomodate new subject fields, while subject indexing techniques fail to display the relationship of subjects. Relational databases are currently being developed which will guide users through the differing levels of subjects, using the 'cartography of science'. Such developments will enable librarians to play a more interactive role in information retrieval and will have far-reaching consequences on the design of subject-indexing systems

    Abstract
    In the Netherlands, for historical reasons, there have been wide variations in subject indexing practice from library to library. With the creation of the Pica (Project for Integrated Catalogue Automation) catalogue network a start was made to create a subject classification suitable for all types of libraries. In 1985 a working party was formed with representatives from the Dutch university libraries and Royal Library. The working party has been responsible for the creation of the general subject classification which has been in use in the Royal Library, and Groningen, Leiden, Nijmegen, and Twente university libraries since Oct. 91. The system was designed for use in online public access catalogues but may also be used as a basis for collection assessment

    Abstract
    As a result of the growing pace of developments in the electronic information industry the EC Commission invited applications for the creation of a data base of producers and their services. Tha contract was awarded to the European Information Industry Association, which in collaboration with ECHO (European Commission Host Organisation) has created the I'M GUIDE (Information Market Guide) service. Information on the products, services and manufacturer is contributed by a network of correspondents. The data bank is updated fortnightly and contains more than 4.000 references. The system is available for online access 24 hours daily. It offers natural language searching in English, french and Italian and a menu-driven system in the 9 EC languages

    Abstract
    The library of the Prince Leopold Institute for Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium is a specialised research library with some 14.000 books and 550 current periodical subscirptions. Since 1990 the library has used Bib/SEARCH (version 2.9) library management program to provide online catalogue and database information facilities. The system is structured to enable easy transfer of data from other sources, and fields may be defined according to the library' needs. Despite minor problems such as the indexing routine, experience at the Institute has been positive. A new version of the system is currently under development

    Abstract
    Articles on the Internet and its application to library services now abound in the professional literature. Libraries which do not offer Internet access are depriving their users of access to a vast store of information. As the cost of scientific journals continues to soar the Internet has encouraged the creation of specialist databases, such as the elementary particle physics database at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Publishers charges for online information highlight the vulnerable position of Flemish university libraries

    Abstract
    Many companies now recognise the importance of knowledge as a factor in ensuring the organisation's success. Such organisations will create a knowledge infrastructure linking all aspects of the process, such as knowledge creation, dissemination, storage and application. This infrastructure will involve staff, processes and systems from a range of areas within the organisation. Trained information professionals can expect to play an important role in such services. The limitations of indexing services for online databases will require the input of information specialists in undertaking specialised searches
