Abstract

Contribution to a thematic issue on the impact of technology on resource sharing: experimentation and maturity. The creation of a nationwide bibliographic database has been the shared responsibility of the national libraries, the major bibliographic utilities, and the individual libraries. Libraries have contributed their local cataloguing records to the national hosts, the bibliographic utilities, which in turn made these records widely available. The emergence of local shared automated library systems has introduced a new set of stakeholders into this environment. Their participation in bibliographic networking will result in a decentralized nationswide bibliographic database stored in multiple locations

Abstract

Describes a new RLG European Library Data initiative, the RLIN database, which will significantly increase the supply of catalogue records for Western European imprints and provide shared access to the holdings of major European libraries. Primary participants in this project are the national libraries of France, Spain and Switzerland. German and UK/Irish records will become available later in 1998. RLG is also previewing a new scholarly resource created in conjunction with the Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL): the Hand Press Book (HPB), a record of publishing throughout Great Britain and its dependencies from the 15th through the 18th centirues

Abstract

Describes the position claiming that the contemporary technological, socio-political, and socio-economic environment gives us pause to consider the core theory and practices of bibliography, combining bibliography of the work (in library and information science), bibliography of the text (in textual studies and scholarly editing), and bibliography of the artifact (in book history and now digital forensics), and calls for collaborative multidisciplinary research at the intersection of these fields to ask, is there a new bibliography?

Abstract

Large Swiss academic libraries stock 3 million titles documented in computerized catalogues. This data will be amalgamated with the Verbundkatalog Schweiz (VKS) to produce a national union catalogue. Unified cataloguing rules, clear definitions for data storage, operational guidelines and active participation of the original VKS database are needed. The government will help libraries financially according to their degree of participation in the project

Abstract

US academic libraries were surveyed in Apr 87 to determine which types of instructional methodes and materials were used in bibliographic instruction. Results of the survey were compared to data gathered in 1979. The most sriking results show that although roughly the same number of libraries offered course-related or noncourse-related lectures in 1987 as in 79, more institutions have required bibliographic instruction sessions and/or tours. The amount of publicity, evaluation, and print and nonprint materials produced has increased during the 80s, but fewer credit courses, term paper clinics, and audiotape programmes are offered.

Abstract

The 1st book auctions for which printed catalogues were issued started in the Netherlands around 1600. However, few catalogues survive before the start of the 19th century. Such early catalogues frequently represent the collections of individuals or of institutions, including libraries. Details of authorship, provenance and state of individual works varies greatly from catalogue to catalogue. For auctioneers commerical considerations are more important than bibliographical correctness. Despite their importance for tracing provenance, auction catalogues are frequently inadequately catalogued in libraries

Abstract

The EC National Libraries projct on CD-ROM, managed since its inceptiion in 1990 by NBS, drew to a close during the summer with the production of a pilot CD-ROM, The Explorers, which combines subsets of the national bibliographies of Denmark, Italy, Portugal and The Netherlands. The bibliographies can be searched collectively or individually and contain some 34.000 serial and monograph records. The records were all converted to UNIMARC format so that they could all be stored in one physical database, and the retrieval interface for The Explorers is in Danish, Dutch, Italian, Portugese, English, French and German

Abstract

Outlines the history of the cataloguing of incunabula in 19th century Berlin and of the production of the Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke from 1925 to 1994. The method of description established in the 1920s under the direction of Haebler has shown itself to be still the most suitable in the age of information technology. Maximum participation by libraries would speed compilation and it would be in the interest of holding libraries for which the GW would be available as an aid to problems of identification of incunabula

Abstract

This article presents a view of the structure of libraries and bibliographic databases in Norway and how they deal with duplicate records. Existing library systems are discussed in some detail. However, emphasis is placed on what the author sees as the picture of future library systems in Norway. It is important to note that Norwegian libraries are small when compared to those in other parts of the world.

Abstract

The enforcement of the Press and Registration of Books Act in 1876 was the beginning of bibliographic activities in British India. In independent Pakistan, UNESCO had been the moving spirit in bibliographic developments. The 1st issue of the Pakistan National Bibliography (PNB) for 1962 appeared in 1966; subsequent issues too, appeared with a time lag of 2 to 5 years. The PNB covers only 30% of the country's total production owing to evasion of deposit laws by publishers. Numerous weaknesses were observed in PNB 1992 and PNB 1993, the 2 issues chosen as a test case, for instance: no uniform policy is followed for cataloguing and transliteration; inadequacy of DDC for classification of books on Islam and other oriental topics; lack of uniformity in choice of subject headings; and absence of authority files. The arrangements of the bibliography and layout of entries needs improvement. Recommends the computerization of PNB

Abstract

This article describes how the original ERIC was established as a conventional, centralized information center within the Office of Education in 1964, and how this initial ERIC was transformed from into a decentralized national system about 18 months later. The history of the two ERICs also illustrates how knowledge and expertise - in this case, that represented by advances in information systems technology and its applications - combined with interpersonal relationships within a bureaucracy, federal funding decisions, and organizational changes to shape the development of a major national information service. The time period covered by the article is from 1959, when planning for the first ERIC began, to June 1967, when the decentralized system became fully operational. Most of the description and analysis, however, is limited to the 1965-66 period, when the decentralized system was conceptualized and implemented. Important developments in ERIC since 1967 are also described

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 studies concentration aspects of bibliographies. More, in particular, we study the impact of incompleteness of such a bibliography on its concentration values (i.e., its degree of inequality of production of its sources). Incompleteness is modeled by sampling in the complete bibliography. The model is general enough to comprise truncation of a bibliography as well as a systematic sample on sources or items. In all cases we prove that the sampled bibliography (or incomplete one) has a higher concentration value than the complete one. These models, hence, shed some light on the measurement of production inequality in incomplete bibliographies.

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.
