    Abstract
    A relevancy-ranking algorithm for a natural language interface to Boolean online public access catalogs (OPACs) was formulated and compared with that currently used in a knowledge-based search interface called the E-Referencer, being developed by the authors. The algorithm makes use of seven weIl-known ranking criteria: breadth of match, section weighting, proximity of query words, variant word forms (stemming), document frequency, term frequency and document length. The algorithm converts a natural language query into a series of increasingly broader Boolean search statements. In a small experiment with ten subjects in which the algorithm was simulated by hand, the algorithm obtained good results with a mean overall precision of 0.42 and mean average precision of 0.62, representing a 27 percent improvement in precision and 41 percent improvement in average precision compared to the E-Referencer. The usefulness of each step in the algorithm was analyzed and suggestions are made for improving the algorithm.

    Abstract
    Describes the work carried out at Oklahoma State University to develop a means of editing and customizing the information screens provided with the NOTIS Library Management System, employing the WordPerfect word processing package and the Windows operating system. The capture capability of Windows was used to copy blocks of text screens from the NOTIS Library Management System into WordPerfect, where they could be easily edited and spell checked. Once each screen was ready, it was again captured using Windows and loaded into the NOTIS system at the appropriate location. The procedure was found to enhance greatly the editorial capability for the information screens available with the Library Online Catalog

    Abstract
    This article reports the findings of an experiment using a simulated title pages, author surnames, and title words, one-third of which were selected by each of the 3 authors, to determine the frequency of one-screen displays when used to search for known items in an implied Boolean retrieval system. Searches comprising surname plus one significant title word produced one-screen displays 78% of time; surname plus 2 words 97% of the time; and surname plus 3 words 98,5%. Three quarters of the significant words were nouns

    Abstract
    Current OPAC show their weakness in terms of ease of use and comprehension of user requests, and more generally in man/machine dialogue. Most OPAC searches are for subjects and these give the word results. Natural language processing techniques exist to reduce these difficulties. In France, natural language processing has been used to access the yellow pages (headings) of the French phone directory and the telematics services directory; examples are included. No doubt the future library systems will use these techniques to make the new OPACs really open, public, accessible and co-operative (user-friendly)

    Abstract
    A survey of Japanese OPACs available on the Internet was conducted relating to use of keywords for subject access. The findings suggest that present OPACs are not capable of storing subject-oriented information. Currently available keyword access derives from a merely title-based retrieval system. Contents data should be added to bibliographic records as an efficient way of providing subject access, and costings for this process should be estimated. Word standardisation issues must also be addressed

    Abstract
    Reports the responses of 32 Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean participants to the possible extensions to an OPAC of OCLC CJK Plus. Korean and Taiwanese participants are less satisfied with the system than are Japanese and Chinese. Unfamiliarity with the CJK word division, diacritics, Romanization, and lack of local standard keyboard support were the major reasons for this dissatisfaction. More comprehensive studies of each CJK language, and more user interface studies, are needed if a better system is to emerge

    Abstract
    There have been several studies on the distribution of index terms, title terms, authors, and other elements employed in searching bibliographic databases. What is needed is to relate this information to the actual selection of terms for searching. This study analyzes data taken from monitoring the actual selection of terms for searching an online catalog at the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Western Ontario. Every time a term was employed in a search expression, a count in the dictionary file was updated. If the word was not in the dictionary, it was added. As a check on other studies, the rank distribution of terms chosen for searching was fit and found to be of a general Bradford-Zipf type. The main hypothesis was that high frequency terms in the catalog are the ones most frequently chosen in searches. The regular scatterplot of number of postings in the catalog versus the frequency in searching was checked and Pearson's correlation and Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated. These data show that in general searchers actually tend to select the terms with a high number of postings for searching the catalog

    Abstract
    Research conducted in the early 80's has shown that subject access is still one of the most dominant approaches in OPACs. However, while some of the subject searches result in no recall, others often retrieve so much that users are discouraged to proceed further. These and other problems were investigated and solutions were found in improving search methods (such as word stemming, extending search to full bibliographical record and providing end user thesaurus) and indexing techniques (such as ny enhancing subject headings with table of contents and back of the book indexes or by traditional systems). More recent research indicates that the real answer to the question of 'precision without sacrificing recall' lies in the developing 'user friendly novel interfaces' and also in designing 'knowledge based systems', wherein sers would not be expected to learn query formulation or even to be familiar with the indexing language of the system. Several interesting studies and research projects on the subject have produced a whole gamut of information, but one can still visualise the evolving trends of research vis-a-vis their future prospects as possible solutions

    Abstract
    Describes the OKAPI projects and OKAPI's development as an experimental online catalogue system over 10 years, first at the University of Westminster (formerly the Polytechnique of Central London) and subsequently at City University, London. The 1st OKAPI project in 1984 introduced 'best match' retrieval and focused on the user interface design. The 2nd investigated word stemming, spelling correction and cross reference tables as retrieval aids. A comparative study of 2 library catalogues was undertaken in 1987, while in 1988 query expansion and relevance feedback were introduced and evaluated by laboratory tests. In 1990 live evaluation of automatic query expansion was carried out and in 1993 subject enhancement of bibliographic records was investigated. The latest project has examined the design of a graphical user interface to support interactive query expansion. Discusses the research and evaluation of each project

    Content
    "Die Recherche im "klassischen" OPAC verlangt eine exakte Formulierung der Suchanfrage, aber viele Bibliotheksbenutzer wissen nicht genau, wonach sie eigentlich suchen. So bleiben oft wertvolle Treffer oder sogar Teile des Bibliotheksbestandes von den Bibliotheksbenutzern unentdeckt. Ein neues Produkt in der Angebotspalette des Bibliothekssoftware-Herstellers BOND GmbH & Co. KG schafft Abhilfe: Der AquaBrowser Library. Er sprengt die Grenzen der konventionellen OPAC-Suche und bietet ein neues, "ergonomisches" Sucherlebnis: die erste progressive und interaktive Suchumgebung. AquaBrowser Library bezieht in die OPAC-Suche automatisch assoziative Begriffe, Synonyme, unterschiedliche Schreibweisen, Übersetzungen sowie den Kontext mit ein. So werden automatisch neue Suchpfade generiert, der Suchbereich und somit auch das Trefferspektrum erweitert. Als Ergebnis erhält der Informationssuchende eine umfangreichere und qualitativ präzisere Ergebnisliste. Das Suchergebnis geht weit über eine Suchliste hinaus: Der Suchbegriff eines Benutzers wird mit den im Bibliothekskatalog enthaltenen Metadaten verglichen. Dabei werden assoziative Begriffe, Synonyme, alternative Schreibweisen, Übersetzungen in Fremdsprachen sowie der Kontext mit einbezogen. Daraus generiert sich automatisch eine visuelle Karte, die so genannte "Word Cloud". Sie stellt alle Assoziationen oder Überblicke über interessante Themenbereiche grafisch logisch dar. Die Begriffe sind Vorschläge und Hilfestellungen für den Bibliotheksbenutzer. Per Klick auf die "Word Cloud" kann er so neue Informationen entdecken und seine Suchanfrage präzisieren und lenken. Beispielsweise werden Tippfehler erkannt und alternative Schreibweisen angeboten. Gibt ein Leser den Suchbegriff "Auto" ein, beinhaltet das Suchergebnis auch Medien zu "PKW", "Kraftfahrzeug" oder "KFZ". Es werden sogar Treffer angezeigt, bei denen der gesuchte Begriff in einer anderen Sprache (englisch, spanisch oder niederländisch) im Katalogisat hinterlegt ist (z.B. car). Bei jeder Suchabfrage erstellt AquaBrowser Library automatisch eine Liste relevanter Kriterien, nach denen der Benutzer seine Ergebnisse filtern kann. Ein Klick auf ein Kriterium genügt und schon werden die Suchergebnisse präzisiert. Auf diese Weise schränken Mediensuchende die Treffer zielgenau ein und gelangen so schnell und exakt zu der spezifischen Information, die sie brauchen. Die Verfeinerungskriterien sind übersichtlich anhand von Kategorien gegliedert (z.B. Schlagwort, Verfasser, Sprache, Personen, Thema, Reihe oder Jahr)."
