Abstract

Extracts from the official report of a study investigating the situation in French public libraries, The main reason for this evaluation is th proposed review of the role of the Bibliothèque Nationale, in relation to developing the role of France in the world information market. The results reported here cover the production and diffusion of bibliographic information. The overall picture is of a lack of coordination between products available and user needs, failure to establish standards for formats and for information technology equioment. The concluding recommendations emphaisis the need for coordinating initiatives by the various organisations involved in producing/diffusing bibliographic information, and establishing common standards to allow free exchange between bibliographic networks. Further studies are in hand to establish guidelines for future policies in more specialised library sectors.

Abstract

Summarises the findings of apilot project at the Austrian Planning centre for Academic Libraries to assess the ÖZDB-Compactsystem on CD-ROM, the first system for serials on CD-ROM to be used in the German speaking countries. The system makes available 47,713 titles from Vienna, Graz, Linz and Salzburg university Libraries locally on an Apple Macintosh computer. The firm was able to provide information about CD-ROM and to supply the hardware for the 6-week project. The whole programme was prepared centrally. It was possible to call up records both by title and by institution responsible, and of the desired degree of specificity. The systems allows the additional advantages option of CD-PAC (Compact Disc Public Access Catalogue) wich can be used in conjunction with the already established BIBOS system.

Abstract

The effectivity of bibliographic data depends upon clearly defined standards, prompt publication and a range of possible users. The Deutsche Bibiothek has converted data into UNIMARC for national exchange purposes. The keyword standard file of over 260.000 heading and reference forms is available on magnetic tape and microfiche. A central data file on corporate bodies, produced by the Deutsche Bibliotheksinstitut is also available. From 1989 the amount of information in topical index entries may be reduced. Further changes planned include more precise definition of collection guidelines, new operational forms for floppy disc and CD-ROM and selective bibliographic services for particular publication forms and types of library.

Abstract

Account of the preliminary stages in the Bibliothèque National project to produce data from the national bibliography, the Bibliographie de France, on CD-ROM. The pilot disc was produced in collaboration with the British Library, using software developed by Online Computers, and tested out in 60 establishments in 1988. Results of this experiment showed up problems in installation, and user dissatisfaction with the indexing system, formats, headings, and instruction manual. Overall, however, user feedback indicated a good market for CD-ROM, as a complement to other sources of bibliographical data. The 1st full edition, with 380.000 records covering 1975-89, was produced in May 89, and a 2nd edition is scheduled for Oct 89. Discussions are currently in hand to develop European standards for CD-ROM, to be used by all national libraries.

Abstract

The database of the Research Libraries Group's Research Libraries Information Network contains some 25 million records in all USMARC formats for bibliographic and authorities data, as well as a number of additional files for specialized data. These records include source data from the Library of Congress and other national bibliographic agencies, and records contributed by RLG member institutions, and are used both for technical processing and in support of RLG's cooperative programs. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Cyrillic vernacular records are included in the central database; work on Hebrew is in progress. Future developments will result in the addition of diverse kinds of data, including nonbibliographic data, to RLIN.

Abstract

The successful development of computer technology for automating Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CIK) vernacular scripts and the completion of the RLIN CJK system in 1983 marked the beginning of online operations of East Asian libraries in North America and helped keep them in the mainstream of library automation. The RLIN CJK system and the subsequently developed OCLC CJK system are building CJK bibliographic databases which have made East Asian cooperative cataloging and resources sharing a true reality. The emergence, features, current conditions, and future plans of the two CJK systems are discussed. So are the automated programs of national libraries in East Asia in terms of their building national databases for vernacular materials and designing and producing national MARCs for exchange of bibliographic information among libraries. The outlook of cooperation between the CJK systems and international exchange of CJK bibliographic information is also examined.

Abstract

This article contains a discussion of the bibliographical databases of the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland. Along with the national bibliographies are included catalogs, union catalogs and centralized services insofar as they have national significance for each country. German-language book production is reported on in many bibliographical databases, at the moment predominantly in printed form. However, an increasing readiness for the production and use of databases in electronic form is noticeable. It is to be wished that the necessity of better and more economical use of bibliographical resources will lead to increasing coordination and cooperation in the German-speaking countries.

Abstract

The article establishes the background for OCLC's international interests and then briefly surveys the varied collaborative activities being undertaken in Europe, the Far East and Canada. An enumeration of the benefits to be enjoyed by the parties at interest is followed by identification of the more troublesome problems that must be resolved. While problems are large, they are more than offset by the worldwide benefits to be derived.

Abstract

The most important bibliographic databases in Italy are surveyed. Among them are the Italian national bibliography, BNI, and the database devoted to Italian books in print, ALICE. Also included are specialized databases such as those in the fields of law, education, economics and science and technology. Because of the lack of an adequate infrastructure for online access, their widespread use has been delayed. However, recent developments, in particular the implementation of the national library service, SBN, promise improvement in the situation.

Abstract

This article describes five challenges that will be faced by the compilers of subject bibliographies in the twenty-first century. Because the bibliography of the twenty-first century will need to be selective, the subject bibliographer will need to be a specialist in the discipline as well as bibliographic description. It will be essential for those who write and publish or disseminate subject bibliographies to be most concerned with the precise needs of the end user, rather than the object of the work in itself.

Abstract

Lecture given at the meeting of the committee on interloans and union catalogues at the 20th Austrian Librarian's Conference. The contents of the Österreichischen Zeitschriftendatenbank (ÖZDB) will be transferred into the data base of the Austrian Libraries' Cooperative, which uses the BIBOS system. Framework conditions of procedures have been established. The 3 data files of ÖZDB are linked logically and are redundance free; they contained over 660.000 entries in 1986. In 1988 there were 980 participants in the data base, mainly Austrian academic libraries. On-line services are included. Interim measures have been recommended for the transition period.

Abstract

A controlled set of searches have been conducted by a group of searchers, at Manchester Polytechnic Library, on a trial subset of the British National Bibliography (BNB) data base on both CD-ROM and on-line. Various measures of search effectiveness and effiency were examined in relation to the effect of the differing user interface, including recall, precision, search time, user satisfaction and other more subjective factors. Discusses the potential for further research on the evaluation of CD-ROM.

Abstract

Over the last decade, networks such as the Western Library Network (WLN have faced an ever-growing number of challenges to their viability. These include rising telecommunications costs and increasing local processing power. WLN has responded to these challenges in several ways. WLN will continue to offer a high quality, centrally maintained database, with special emphasis on providing an accurate linked authority file. To further promote this goal, a Cataloging/Inputting Service and Sample Review program for original cataloging input by members have been implemented. Service area restrictions have been removed to encourage use of WLN throughout the West and beyond. Finally, WLN has developed Lasercat, a CD-ROM based catalog containing over one half the WLN database.

Abstract

This article describes three important bibliographic databases in Latin America, two of which have been created by national library networks. In the networks shared cataloging has become increasingly important. The databases contain much cataloging information not available outside Latin America. During the last two years the national libraries of Venezuela and Chile have exchanged their data and furnished it to a library in Colombia which is beginning the automation process. The article describes the formation of the networks from the point of view of database building, and examines prospects for increasing exchanges of data in the region.
