Abstract

This article reports the findings of a survey of heads of cataloging in Ohio public libraries. The survey focused on subject enhancements in automated catalogs. Results reveal that additional subject access points and more anaytical entries ranked as the most useful enhancements for patrons. These enhancements were seen as less useful for technical services staff.

Abstract

Analysis of research to date on improving subject access by including contents tables in bibliographic records. Results indicate the need for clear methodology (criteria for selecting notoces for enrichment, manual and semi automated methods, cost). Evaluations, based on recall, precision and rate of circulation, indicate manifest benefits, especially in virtual libraries where information is superabundant; but enrichment is a complex process

Abstract

As librarians plan ahead to make subject enhancements available to online searchers in various possible file locations and formats, they may want to base their decisions on implications for online searching. This paper explores some of these implications with respect to unique and misleading terminology in tables of contents, Choice abstracts, and reviews from Computing reviews for thirty-six books on information and computer science chosen from the 1987 issues of Choice. It also discusses possible interacting functions in the search process served by these subject enhancements, assigned LCSH, and book title terminology

Abstract

Contents notes can improve online access to works containing essays, short stories, and significantly titles chapters. Few records in bibliographic utilities include contents notes. The OCLC PRISM service may provide an opportunity to cooperatively build a contents-enriched database. This paper discusses some issues related to the creation of enhanced records and their display in online cataloges. It also describes one library's efforts to add contents notes lically and to participate in an anticipated OCLC pilot project

Abstract

This paper reports on a project undertaken at the American Museum of Natural History Library in 1997 and intended to enhance access to materials in the library's collection by using scanning and OCR software to digitize and add monograph tables of contents to the OPAC bibliographic records. Initially, conference proceedings already in the collection were used, but, as the project developed, other types of materials were also used. The rationale for the project is explained, the procedure developed is described, and the lessons learned from using this particular technology are outlined.

Abstract

With the advent of online public access catalogs, catalog librarians and their staffs have been freed from the labor-intensive processes involved in the creation and maintenance of card catalogs. At the Medical University of South Carolina Library, this new found time has been devoted to enhancing access to the library's collections. Enhancements discussed include the creation of bibliographic records for vertical file materials, the National Library of Medicine bibliographies, and reserve items, as well as providing subject access to individual chapters in books and articles in monographic serials.

Abstract

State of the art review of enhancements in online catalogues over a 3 year period, taking for granted those features that are now standard and mainly discussing issues related to problem areas, in particular, subject access and user searching behaviour, as well as new developments that directly impinge on the catalogue's future: new interface developments and network access and resources

Abstract

Since Dec 86, the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) library has been enriching bibliographic records by adding terms from either the contents pages or indexes of books. 40.000 records are now enriched, representing about 25% coverage of the ADFA database of 210.000 titles. Evaluates the retrieval effectiveness of the enriched data in an OPAC, in comparison with title and LCSH, using 90 topics from 6 different subject areas

Abstract

This report describes an experiment in subject enhancement conducted at an academic research library. Subjects and contents notes were added to online catalog records for a group of previously uncirculated social science essay collections, and circulation was monitored over one academic year. A control group, plus a third group with added contents notes but no extra subjects, were also monitored. Results showed an improvement in recorded use for the subject-enhanced titles, but not for titles that only had added contents notes. The effects of browsing, keyword searching, and OPAC display are discussed

Abstract

The paper examines the developmentss that have taken place during the last decade with respect to the provision of intellectual subject access in information databases storage. The principles of the SAP indexing methodology are outlined and exemplified, leading to a discussion of the consequences for the conception of the physical 'document' versus 'semantic entities' as the basic constructs for storage and multi-dimensional representation of subject matter. Finally, the paper analyzes the impact of very recent technologies which make achievable such access conceptions and mechanisms

Abstract

This paper analyzes proposals for augmenting library bibliographic records for improved subject searching in online catalogs. Possible fields for enrichment are described and their likely value assessed. The assessment determines that the main value of enriched records would be to provide access to parts of books. The paper presents arguments for and against adding book content indexing to the online catalog and analyzes the feasibility of eleven alternatives for providing such information

Abstract

Shortened and revised version of a paper presented during an Education Librarian's Group session at the Under One Umbrella Two Conference, organized by the Library Association in Manchester, 9-11 Jul 93. With the possibility of free text searching and easy access to CD-ROM databases, users often do not realise that subject searching is enhanced by familiarity with the controlled vocabulary underlying the indexing system of the database. Discusses the construction of information retrieval thesauri, the problems of terminology and how the use of thesauri can make searching more effective, using education thesauri as examples

Abstract

To enhance descriptions, cataloguers can add 'enriching' words or phrases to titles, or introduce content-enriched access features to aid subject-based research. Additional and natural language subject headings designed to support, though not replace, controlled language headings can result in enhanced indexing. Analytical cataloguing and double indexing are 2 other means by which readers can gian access to additional bibliographic data. Also examines how online research tool effectiveness can be enhanced by a system of automatic links between descriptors

Abstract

Reports results of research into the feasibility of using OCR scanner technology to capture contents pages of collective monographs and to extract the bibliographic information of each individual work and process this using a standardized language, such as SGML, for tagging electronic documents. By this means, data can be used as electronic information or stored in OPACs, thus providing additional access points. Outlines a pilot system to test the initial hypotheses, show the feasibility of achieving the suggested goals and develop the tasks required for them to be carried out as automatically as possible

Abstract

Experimental evidence suggests that enhancing the subject content of OPAC records can improve retrieval performance. This is based on the use of natural language index terms derived from the table of contents and back-of-the-book index of documents. The research reported here investigates the alternative approach of translating these natural language terms into controlled vocabulary. Subject queries were collected by interview at the catalogue, and indexing of the queries demonstrated the impressive ability of PRECIS, and to a lesser extent LCSH, to represent users' information needs. DDC performed poorly in this respect. The assumption was made that an index language adequately specific to represent users' queries should be adequate to represent document contents. Searches were carried out on three test databases, and both natural language and PRECIS enhancement of MARC records increased the number of relevant documents found, with PRECIS showing the better performance. However, with weak stemming the advantage of PRECIS was lost. Consideration must also be given to the potential advantages of controlled vocabulary, over and above basic retrieval performance measures
