    Abstract
    Considers the possible potential for service development in public libraries offered by the Internet and describes the traditional models of network access and their lack of relevance to public libraries. Describes 2 current research projects currently being undertaken by public libraries to assess the value of the Internet to their services; ITPOINT, a project being conducted at Chelmsley Wood Library, Solihull, UK; and CLIP, the Croydon Libraries Internet peoject. Presents a range of new service paradigms and suggests that public libraries will become even more central to people's lives than they are today

    Abstract
    With the many choices that can be built into information systems, it is possible to customize such systems for users, based on the tasks that users are accomplishing, on the personal characteristics of users, or a combination of these factors. Reports results of an experiment which detailed logging of use of experimental information systems and was used to determine the optimal configuration of these systems for each user. 4 experimental systems were specially designed and all used a single database of 668 bibliographic records. Tasks were varied, and the cognitive abilities of users were tested to assess one important personal characteristic. Results showed that it was possible to create an optimal configuration to match the cognitive abilities of users, but that it was more difficult to assess which configuration was the best match for specific tasks. The person in task interaction proved to be the least powerful indicator of design configurations. These results suggest that usable information systems can be created for users by careful analysis of the interaction of design features with personal characteristics such as cognitive abilities

    Abstract
    The new paradigm of reference, in which the reference librarian becomes a consultant more than a quick-answer specialist, needs to be stretched, Mood advocates. Rather than assisting people with their research, the reference librarian needs to do the research for them. After an interview to assess the user's needs, the librarian searches various print and nonprint access tools, then presents to the patron a bibliography of sources and - possibly - copies of articles and books. This new approach to reference is needed because of both the increasing complication of libraries, with their myriad computer access points to information, and the increasing number of patrons who want information but do not want to learn how to retrieve it. This change in library reference can be implemented with better signage, more prepackaging of information, and an increased knowledge of the local community's information needs

    Abstract
    Provides functional performance data drawn from an analysis of the capabilities and functionality of 3 major library automation systems: HORIZON, INNOPAC and Virginia Tech Library System (VTLS). The assessment was based on vendor input as well as on feedback from libraries of different types from different parts of the world. Objective criteria based on a numerical scoring scheme was used to assess system performance in 6 major functional areas: acquisition; cataloguing; circulation; OPAC; reference and information services; and serials control. The functional performance data is expected to be useful for libraries loking for new systems as well as those already computerised and interested in enhancing their present systems. In addition, data on the extent of the utilisation of system capabilities by libraries should also be of interest to system vendors

    Abstract
    Attempts to assess the impact and relevance of the Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib), initiated by the Follett Report on the future of libraries in the UK. Identifies some of the main characteristics of the programme and attempts to assess the impact of the different groups of projects within it, including electronic journals, electronic short loan, access to network resources and electronic document delivery. Includes the views of a number of working librarians at Swansea University

    Abstract
    Because recognition is never perfect, OCR software manufacturers allow imperfect results to be edited. OCR uses several methods to assess the level of certainty with which it recognises text. Describes pop ups / text marking, general dictionaries and user dictionaries, zones, templates and decolumnizing. Descusses performance and saving the documents

    Abstract
    Examines the way in which the ADONIS automated document delivery system was implemented at the British Library Document Supply Centre (BLDSC). Looks at the problems incurred during the attempt to integrate procedures for an ADONIS system within BLDSC's conventional (manual) document supply procedures regarding hardware, systems and integration. Outlines a costing model devised to assess the costs of photocopying as opposed to the ADONIS method, dividing the costs into the categories of systems and staffing. It was difficult to assess comparative costs with precision because figures for the acquisition costs of the ADONIS CD-ROM's were unavailable, but it became clear that (excluding acquisitions costs) the ADONIS service was competitive with the conventional photocopy supply. International co-operation is important in the success of any such trial.

    Abstract
    The increasing diversity of users in today's academic libraries, coupled with the overwhelming amount of information available in a variety of formats, often forms barriers which prevent users from feeling sufficiently comfortable in approaching the reference desk to ask for assistance. Suggests guidelines for use by academic librarians in evaluating facilities, services and staff in their libraries to assess their effectiveness in welcoming users and validating their information needs

    Abstract
    In Apr 92 the French Library Association (ABF) convened a working group to assess current provisions of bibliographic information. This article reports on the outcomes up to Dec 92, referring to general libraries. The 2 main sources for current French materials are BN-OPALE, the national bibliography; and ELECTRE, its commercial rival. Both are available on CD-ROM; and although ELECTRE is more up to date, it is prohibitively expensive. The other contender is the newly introduced (May 92) National Bibliographic Service, which has serious drawbacks in that it is not available on CD-ROM and disregards UNIMARC format

    Abstract
    Academic reference and instruction librarians are committed to providing excellent and appropriate service to their library users. However, the increasing diversity of users in today's academic libraries, coupled with the overwhelming amount of information available in a variety of formats, orften form barriers which prevent users from feeling sufficiently comfortable in approaching the reference desk to ask for assistance. Guidelines are suggested for use by academic librarians in evaluating facilities, services and staff in their libraries to assess their effectiveness in welcoming users and validating their information needs

    Abstract
    From 1978 to 1990 the College of Engineering, Michigan University, offered a course: 'Technical Communications: Information Resources for Engineers' to students working on research projects. Reports results of a 1993 follow up study, to assess the impact of the course. The study also revealed that many engineers have access to the tools needed for electronic information retrieval, and that while few receive formal training in their use, there is widespread interest in learning more
