Abstract

The idea of classification is based on the concept of fixed and absolute order, though each classification system reflects its historical origin and its subject to the characteristics of the individual who applies it as well as variations in the real world. Traditional classifications sought to establish differences and hierarchies, reflected in libraries in such systems as LC and Dewey. The scientific revolution of the mid 20th century introduced theories of interdisciplinarity resulting in the need for new approaches to library classification as a practical tool for locating texts as well as a way of ordering concepts. Computerised systems offer the advantage of flexibility, with the concomitant problem of noise. Users must therefore be trained to understand that categories and networks are employed not as dogmatically but relatively

Abstract

An examination of the chief developments over the last decade, covering the revisions of the standards for monographs (M), serials (S), cartographic materials (CM); and non-book materials (NBM) published in 1987; and revisions of antiquarian (A) and printed music (PM) standards published in 1991. The process of development of new standards for computer files (CF) and component parts (CP), and the creation of a concise version for mongraphy, is discussed in detail, in the overall perspective of illustrating why ISBD has gained international acceptance. The consultative process of creation and willingness to accomodate diverse cultural, linguistic and bibliographical traditions is the basis, together with universal recognition of the need for standardisation for conversion and use of computerised data. Future developments will focus on standardisation of exchange formats (MARC)

Abstract

Reports of a study in a Chilean university library, comparing 100 users of online databases and CD-ROMs with 100 users of non-computerized bibliographical resources. Results showed that users tended to be teachers / researchers, and potential users were postgraduate students. Comparison of search results showed online searching improved results and saved time. The chief reasons for non-use were ignorance of the service and use of own personal computer. The study indicated the need to review policy on database acquisition and improve promotion of the service. In general, librarians should motivate greater use of online searching by providing skilled intermediary services to maximize uptake
