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

Recently the European Community formed a single European Market, and is moving closer to some form of political union. Interest in the European Community has increased dramatically, placing increasingly heavier demands on library reference departments to acquire materials. The author located over 200 recently published reference titles in paper format treating the European Community. The most comprehensive of these items, those dealing either with the European Community as a whole or the Single Market, are reviewed. Selected items not reviewed are included in a separate list

Abstract

Contribution to an issue devoted to serials and reference services. Aims to acquaint reference librarians with the information provided by the United States Newspaper Program and its state projects, and to describe the methods by which this information can be assessed. USNP participants are working toward the cataloguing and detailed location and holdings description of virtually every newspaper in the US. This information is resulting in the creation of a comprehensive newspaper reference tool. The USNP information is available on-line via bibliographic utilities; it is also available in an off-line product, the United States Newspaper Program National Union List. To use this information, librarians need to possess some knowledge of the scope and complexities of the bibliographic description and union listing of newspapers.

Abstract

CD-ROM technology has great potential for storing and anabling access to the type of data contained in national bibliographies. Their ease of replication offer security as well as enabling the information contained to be made more widely availaible. Of the 2 methods used to convert print to electronic data, scanning and keying, Chagwyck-Healey use the latter. In the case of national bibliographies on CD-ROM, new records are created electronically and old records are converted by keying. Chadwyck-Healey have developed an extensive CD-ROM list, focusing on both bibliographic and full text literary works, and has produced national bibliographies on CD-ROM for the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain (with the Netherlands to appear shortly). National bibliographies on CD-ROM produced by other bodies are those of finland, Norway, Bulgarian, Singapore and the USA

Content

Volume 1 is divided into three parts. Part One (Chapters 1 and 2) constitutes an introduction to the reference process and automated reference services. Part Two, "Information: Control and Access," consists of Chapters 3 through 6 and covers an introduction to bibliographies, indexing, and abstracting services. Chapters 7 through 12 are in Part Three, "Sources of Information," which include encyclopedias, various ready reference sources, biographical sources, dictionaries, geographical sources, and government documents. It is as pointless for students to memorize details about specific reference sources, as it is necessary for them to grasp the essential areas of agreement and difference among the various forms. To this end, every effort is made to compare rather than to detail. Only basic or foundation reference works are discussed in this volume. But readers may not find all basic titles included or annotated because: (1) There is no consensus an what constitutes "basic". (2) The objective of this text is to discuss various forms, and the titles used for that purpose are those that best illustrate those forms. (3) The annotations for a specific title are duplicated over and over again in Guide to Reference Books and Guide to Reference Materials, which list the numerous subject bibliographies. In both volumes, suggested readings are found in the footnotes and at the end of each chapter. When a publication is cited in a footnote, the reference is rarely duplicated in the "Suggested Reading." For the most part, these readings are limited to publications issued since 1987. In addition to providing readers with current thinking, these more recent citations have the added bonus of making it easier for the student to locate the readings. A number of the suggested reading items will be found in Reference and Information Sources, A Reader, 4th ed., published by Scarecrow Press, in 1991. It is beyond argument, of course, that all readings need not necessarily be current and that many older articles and books are as valuable today as they were when first published. Thanks to many teachers' having retained earlier editions of this text and the aforementioned Scarecrow title, it is possible to have a bibliography of previous readings. As has been done in all previous editions, the sixth edition notes prices for most of the major basic titles. This practice seems particularly useful today, since librarians must more and more be aware of budgetary constraints when selecting reference titles. CD-ROMS are listed where available. Prices are based an information either from the publisher of the original reference source or from the publisher of the CD-ROM disc. If a particular work is available online, the gross hourly rate as charged by DIALOG is given for its use. Both this rate and the book prices are current as of late 1990 and are useful in determining relative costs. Bibliographic data are based an publisher's catalogs, Books in print, and examination of the titles. The information is applicable as of late 1990 and, like prices, is subject to change.
The ten chapters in Volume 11 are divided into 3 parts: Part One, "Information and the Community," contains two chapters to familiarize readers with various groups in the community, their information and reference needs, and how professionals attempt to serve those needs. Part Two, "Interview and Search," devotes Chapters 3 through 6 to the vital task of explaining how to isolate and understand the questions readers put to librarians as well as basic methods of finding the correct answer(s). The emphasis is an practical application of tried and true methods of interviewing and searching. Attention is given to both manual and computer searches. Chapter 6 is a guide to basic information about databases, including CD-ROMS. Part Three, "Library Instruction, Networks, Policies, and Evaluation," is comprised of the last four chapters and covers the activities of reference librarians when not responding to direct questions. This part includes hints an teaching people how to find information as well as the networks that help both librarian and user to discover what is needed. Chapter 10 discusses methods of deciding how well the individual has fulfilled the task of being a reference librarian. Only space and the fact that this text is for beginners limits what information it contains. First, many new developments and potentially important technological changes in the field of information are impossible to cover without turning to technical language and jargon quite beyond the average reader of an introductory textbook. However, basic developments are covered and explained, and there is a guide (via the footnotes and suggested readings) for those who wish to explore the future. Second, this volume is for students and working reference librarians and is intended first, foremost, and always as a pragmatic, practical approach. This is not to discount the importance of research and information science. Leaders and followers in those fields are responsible for much of what is revolutionary in references services today. There are other courses, other places where information science can be considered in depth; all that can be done here is to hint at the joy of the intellectual fields that open up to the information scientist and researcher. Students and teachers alike should be aware that much of the material covered in this book is updated, argued, and dutifully considered in several basic journals. RQ, the official voice of reference librarians of the American Library Association, excels in its coverage of the topics considered in this text. Library Journal, while more general, now offers excellent and timely articles an the new technology and its influence an librarians. The Reference Librarian, edited by the author of this text, offers specific discussions of single topics in each issue, and these have ranged from online reference services, to personnel, to problems of evaluation. And, not to be missed, is the nicely edited, always useful, and sometimes downright inspirational, References Services Review.

Abstract

The National Library of France (BNBF) general catalogue in now available on CD-ROM, comprising nearly 4 million entries. Created by retrospective converiosn rather than recataloguing, this version retains inconsistencies and duplications from its sources, but some improvements and corrections have been effected, eg supplementary access points. The CD-ROM offers an invaluable reservoir of bibliographic records for other libraries undertaking retrospective cataloguing, and can be searched either by list or keyword, with results on paper or electronic format

Abstract

With the introduction of the single market, more and more European Community information databases are becoming available either online or on CD-ROM. Some databases are full text but many are bibliographic. Users may access them free text or through controlled descriptors but ideally they should be able to search through 1 or more subject access points. Each of the databases uses a different method and the different subject access methods, employing thesauri or classification schemes, are examined. Proposes a solution to the problem of multiple thesauri and multilingualism

Published subject bibliographies can still compete with computerized catalogues and databases in the task of winnowing the vast amount of information available. Examines an information search on the subjects of play and leisure and shows the continuing importance of well conceived and carefully executed bibliographies for interdisciplinary areas

Abstract

Describes the ways in which the Russian national bibliography is being transformed as democratic reforms proceed in Russia. A new law 'On the legal deposit of documents' has been introduced which sets out the state's policy with regard to organizing deposit copies of documents on which the national bibliography is based. The range of documents subject to registration and recording is broadening and new principles for the selection of publications are being applied as decreed by the Federal law on legal deposit. The information search language has been changed from the politically subjective 'Common classification of literature for book publishing' (EKL) to UDC. These changes are helping to consolidate Russia's place in the world as a reliable producer and user of national bibliographical information, and are making possible the direct compatibility of its databases with those of other countries

Abstract

2 experiments investigated how textual factors influence the perception of bibliographical records. Subjects in the 1st experiment browsed indexes for the subject discriptor associated with the displayed record. Results showed that topical and broader descriptors are matched to records more easily than narrower descriptors. In the 2nd experiment, subjects ranked the relevance of descriptors for a bibliographic record. The interaction of 3 textual factors are reported: a semantic distance, direction up or down a generic tree of descriptors; and term overlap. Both experiments found that relevance perceptions degraded systematically with semantic distance, but the rate of degradation was different for top and bottom records. Term overlap modified these effects

Abstract

The author was funded by the US Information Agency to assist the National Library of Namibia in the creation of a national bibliography. Work began in 1994 with the conversion of an existing database of Namibiana, NAMLIT, to CDS/ISIS which includes software using UNIMARC. This was to make possible the creation of new records, and enhance NAMLIT records for monographs or serials by using AACR2 and adding DDC numbers and LCSH headings. Describes the obstacles to be surmounted including the absence of legal deposit and a burglary of the hardware. It is planned to produce printed issues covering 1990-1992, 1993-1995 and current publication for 1996 onwards. After the annual schedule is in operation retrospective coverage from the 1980s will be undertaken

Abstract

Discusses plans for the retrospective conversion of the Union Catalogue of Books which holds stock locations for the British Library Document Supply Centre's collection of non-current monographs. This will be undertaken by Catalogue Bridge, managed by the National Bibliographic Service, and the conversion work involves 3 processes: creation of the search files; matching the search files against the databases and capturing all available records; and merging of local information with the captured records

Abstract

Examines the response of the UK Library and Information Council (LINC) to the British Library's consultation paper on the future of the BNB. LINC supports the continuation of the national bibliography in printed form, but is concerned about large areas of the national imprint not covered by it, and suggest that expansion of cooperative data supply should be explored. The current system could evolve into a controlled network of contributing agencies if the necessary legal, financial and quality control framework were established
