Abstract

Myriad new information resources are available to contemporary library users. While print remains the foundation of most collections, libraries are also beginning to provide access to an array of bibliographic, numeric, and full-text databases. As more and more information is produced in electronic form and presented at computer workstations, the library catalog is being given an expanded role. The expanded catalog will play a crucial part in organizing information in electronic libraries, and in providing navigational assistance to library users. Like the traditional card catalog, the expanded catalog will not only lead to specific items or groups of sources, but also will provide connections to related materials. These connections will uses standard data elements to link the results of a search in one database with related material in another. For example, links will show local library holdings of sources in citation databases. Cornell University's Mann Library serves the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Human Ecology, and the Division of Biological Sciences. As part of electronic library development, Mann staff have been analyzing issues involved in making it possible for Agricola and BIOSIS users to see, automatically, which of their retrieved citations are from sources available in the Cornell libraries. Samples of citations from Agricola and BIOSIS were drawn, and data elements present in these records were compared with bibliographic records of the library's holdings. In some cases, links would be provided by ISSNs. The study shows, however, that the presence of standard identifiers such as ISSN, USBN, or CODEN cannot be assumed, and other linking algorithms must be developed. This article presents study results, provides an overview of several linking systems, and identifies some of the difficulties caused by lack of standardization between different bibliographic databases. It is clear that the concept of an expanded catalog will require not only links between information resources but agreements among information professionals on standard data elements.

Abstract

Contents enhancement of catalog records may increase access to books in collections and aid in effective resource sharing by providing more detailed descriptions about library holdings in the catalog. A sample of monographs in San Diego State Univ. Library was studied to determine the extent to which information in books from parts of the collection could be represented better by content notes, and to determine how much of this information has subject or analytical applications. The study revealed that approximately 23% of the books contain discrete content information not already represented in catalog records that could be added. Of those, 52% would be citation-based enhancements and 48% would be subject-based. Nearly 65% would require fewer than 25 enhancements, with an average of 8.03 enhancements per book for the total population

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

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
