    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
    In Nov. 1988 the Caltech Library made available to its users a new service which combines online access to journal citations located at Caltech with document delivery. This service evolved over several years, beginning with efforts to include the citation access in the library's integrated library system and culminating in the purchase of the powerful BRS/Search software to run on a small IBM mainframe specifically to support this project. Various decisions about implementation were made along the way, with no perfect solution being reached. Instead, the library learned to balance different factors against each other in order to dertermine the best solution

    Abstract
    Describes a study that examined the instances and causes of problems with keyword subject searching of journal citation databases. The researchers employed 3 methods, and in so doing, tested their viability in developing a cohesive record of user searching activities and attitudes: transaction log analysis, survey questionnaire, and protocol analysis. Two types of recommendations emanate from this research: suggestions for practical enhancements to interface software design; and a new methodological approach to the study of user searching behaviour in online systems

    Abstract
    Reports results of a survey of the online searching techniques of 50 university students, undergraduate and graduate, using the OPAC and CD-ROM databases at the Hayden Library, Arizona State University. The type of searching, use of library staff and online help screens, exposure to library user training, and length of time at the terminal for citation versus abstract products were recorded and analyzed. Results indicate that: a balance of online help products and library staff interaction is needed when providing help for users; careful attention needs to be paid to increasing the number of terminals and connections as abstracts are added to the databases being offered on the networks; and that even with exposure to more advanced searching techniques, users till rely on simple subject searching to locate required materials

    Abstract
    Das in den letzten Jahren wiedererwachte Interesse an der klassifikatorischen Erschließung und Recherche hat sich allem Anschein nach noch nicht ausreichend bis zu den Herstellern integrierter Bibliothekssysteme herumgesprochen. Wie wäre es sonst zu erklären, dass im OPAC-Modul eines führenden Systems wie Aleph 500 so gut wie keine Features für klassifikationsbasierte Recherchen zu erblicken sind? Tatsächlich finden wir heute einen im Vergleich zum einstigen System Bibos kaum veränderten Zustand vor: Notationen eines oder mehrerer Klassifikationssysteme können in einer durch MAB dafür bestimmten Kategorie (700, nebst Indikatoren) katalogisiert und dann recherchiert bzw. angezeigt werden. Doch welcher Benutzer weiß schon, was diese Notationen im einzelnen bedeuten? Wer macht sich die Mühe, dies selbst herauszufinden, um dann danach zu recherchieren? Hier liegt im wesentlich dasselbe Problem vor, das schon dem systematischen Zettelkatalog anhaftete und ihn zu einem zwar mühevoll erstellten, aber wenig genutzten Rechercheinstrument machte, das nur dann (zwangsläufig) angenommen wurde, wenn ein verbaler Sachkatalog fehlte. Nun könnte eingewandt werden, dass im Vergleich zu früher unter Aleph 500 wenigstens das Aufblättern von Indizes möglich sei, sodass im OPAC ein Index für die vergebenen Notationen angeboten werden kann (bzw. mehrere solche Indizes bei Verwendung von mehr als nur einem Klassifikationssystem). Gewiss, doch was bringt dem Uneingeweihten das Aufblättern des Notationsindex - außer einer alphabetischen Liste von kryptischen Codes? Weiter könnte man einwenden, dass es im Aleph-500-OPAC die so genannten Suchdienste ("services") gibt, mithilfe derer von bestimmten Elementen einer Vollanzeige hypertextuell weiternavigiert werden kann. Richtig, doch damit kann man bloß wiederum den Index aufblättern oder alle anderen Werke anzeigen lassen, die dieselbe Notationen - also einen Code, dessen Bedeutung meist unbekannt ist - aufweisen. Wie populär mag dieses Feature beim Publikum wohl sein? Ein anderer Einwand wäre der Hinweis auf das inzwischen vom Hersteller angebotene Thesaurus-Modul, das vermutlich auch für Klassifikationssysteme eingesetzt werden könnte. Doch wie viele Bibliotheken unseres Verbundes waren bisher bereit, für dieses Modul, das man eigentlich als Bestandteil des Basissystems erwarten könnte, gesondert zu bezahlen? Schließlich mag man noch einwenden, dass es im Gegensatz zur Bibos-Zeit nun die Möglichkeit gibt, Systematiken und Klassifikationen als Normdateien zu implementieren und diese beim Retrieval für verbale Einstiege in die klassifikatorische Recherche oder zumindest für die Veranschaulichung der Klassenbenennungen in der Vollanzeige zu nutzen. Korrekt - dies ist möglich und wurde sogar einst für die MSC (Mathematics Subject Classification, auch bekannt als "AMS-Klassifikation") versucht. Dieses Projekt, das noch unter der Systemversion 11.5 begonnen wurde, geriet jedoch nach einiger Zeit ins Stocken und fand bedauerlicherweise nie seinen Weg in die folgende Version (14.2). Mag auch zu hoffen sein, dass es unter der neuen Version 16 wieder weitergeführt werden kann, so weist dieses Beispiel doch auf die grundsätzliche Problematik des Normdatei-Ansatzes (zusätzlicher Aufwand, Kontinuität) hin. Zudem lohnt sich die Implementierung einer eigenen Normdatei 4 wohl nur bei einem größeren bzw. komplexen Klassifikationssystem, wogegen man im Falle kleinerer Systematiken kaum daran denken würde.

    Abstract
    Traditional subject cataloguing hampers subject retrieval in central catalogues, because of the lack of a common indexing and retrieval language in these catalogues. This study investigates the possibilities to use the various individual subject access systems, present in the catalogues, for subject access. A search procedure based on 'citation pearl growing' and 'user relevance feedback', which can be applied in a public access interface to central data bases, has been developed. From an experiment it can be concluded, that automated expert assistance, provided with a search strategy, will improve search response for unexperienced searchers. It reduces the number of zero-hits and increases the number of relevant items retrieved

    Abstract
    The effect that content and layout of bibliographic displays had on the ability of end-users to process catalog information was tested using a 2 x 2 factorial experimental design. Participants were asked to perform two related tasks during the course of the experiment. In the first task, they were asked to select a set of items that they would examine further for a hypothetical paper they must write, using a simulated online catalog to make their assessments of relevance. In the second task, they were asked to examine 20 bibliographic records, decide whether they would choose to examine these items further on the shelf, and identify the data elements that they used to formulate their relevance decision. One group viewed bibliographic records on an interface similar to current online catalogs, one that used data labels and contained data elements commonly found. A second group viewed these records on an interface in which the labels had been removed, but the data elements were the same as those in the first. The third group viewed these records on a labeled display that included enhanced data elements on the brief record display. The final group viewed these records with the same brief record data elements as the third group, but with the labels removed, using ISBD and AACR2 punctuation standards. For the first task, participants using enhanced brief screen interfaces viewed more brief screens and fewer full screens than their counterparts. Screen durations for the second 10 screens were found to have dropped from those of the first 10 screens. Statistical analyses comparing demographic variables to the screen frequencies uncovered many significant differences. Participants using the enhanced-content interfaces made fewer selections from index and full screens, and more selections from brief screens. For the second task, participants who used enhanced-content interfaces were able to make some sort of relevance judgment more frequently than those who used standard-content interfaces.

    Abstract
    There are many problems with subject access in online catalogues. One of the major problems is information overload. One kind of this occurs when the display consists of a lengthy segment of the subject index in which a single subject heading is followed by a bewildering array of subdivisons, qualifications and phrases. This problem can be alleviated by presenting the subject index in a summary form that the user can expand to provide more detail as appropriate. Such an approach could be realized within the context of a direct manipulation style of user interface. In particular, a manner of displaying information called 'fisheye views' could be applied to the subject index display

    Abstract
    Search index usage in a large university online catalog system over a six-year period (representing about 15,3 million searches) was investigated using transaction monitor data. Mathematical models of trends and patterns in the data were developed and tested using regression techniques. The results of the analyses show a consistent decline in the frequency of subject index use by online catalog users, with a corresponding increase in the frequency of title keyword searching. Significant annual patterns in index usage were also identified. Analysis of the transaction data, and related previous studies of online catalog users, suggest a number of factors contributing to the decline in subject search frequency. Chief among these factors are user difficulties in formulating subject queries with LCSH, leading to search failure, and the problem of "information overload" as database size increases. This article presents the models and results of the transaction log analysis, discusses the underlying problems with subject searching contributing to the observed decline, and reviews some proposed improvements to online catalog systems to aid in overcoming these problems

    Abstract
    Online public access catalogues enable users to undertake subject searching by classification schedules, natural language, or controlled language terminology. In practice the 1st method is little used. Controlled language systems require indexers to index specifically and consistently. A comparative survey was made of indexing practices at Amsterdam and Mijmegen university libraries. On average Amsterdam assigned each document 3.5 index terms against 1.8 at Nijmegen. This discrepancy in indexing policy is the result of long-standing practices in each institution. Nijmegen has failed to utilise the advantages offered by online cataloges
