    Abstract
    The Talking Book Library of the Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind provides library and information services to people with print disabilities. Most of the library's borrowers do not come into the library to select their own material and circulation of library material to borrowers is conducted mainly by mail. The selection of a new automated management system for the library was complicated by the need for the system to compensate for this by providing borrowers with the means of making their own choices at a distance

    Abstract
    The paper presents a coword-analysis-based system called SDOC which is able to pupport the intellectual work of an end-user who is searching for information in a bibliographic database. This is done by presenting its thematical structure as a map of keyword clusters (themes) on a graphical user interface. These mapping facilities are demonstrated on the basis of the research field Social History given by a set of documents from the social science literature database SOLIS. Besides the traditional way of analysing a coword map as a strategic diagram, the notion of cluster relationships analysis is introduced which provides an adequate interpretation of links between themes

    Abstract
    The UK has not followed other countries in developing framworks of policies to guide their transition into information societies in a consistent and systematic way. Analyzes the current UK policies using a matrix which identifies 3 levels of policy (industrial, organization and social) and 4 cross cutting themes (information technology, information markets, human resources and legislation and regulation). Concludes that together, these various initiatives add up to a national strategy but it is one that lacks coordination and cohesion

    Abstract
    The digital library is a socio-technical concept of great significance. It redefines the relationships between information providers and intermediaries and, potentially, transforms the way that services are delivered to users. This article, based on a British Library Research & Innovation Centre funded study, reviews current themes and directions in digital library research and scholarship. It locates the digital library in a simple work-oriented framework emphasising its social as well as its systems and informational dimensions. The article highlights differences in understanding of the digital library construct between the library and computer science communities and identifies some critical areas for further research.

    Abstract
    Almost everybody seems to be talking about document delivery and digital libraries. Library networks are starting joint ventures with journal subscription agencies and offering electronic tables of contents. Integrated systems for image management and document management are being implemented. Academic networks and Internet are being used at an exponential rate. At the same time budgets for the acquisition of books and journals are shrinking and alternatives for the delivery of information are being discussed. Are there alternatives and what will be their impact?

    Abstract
    The Internet, an electronic computer network that connects millions of computers around the world, has taken the international library community by strom. The library community is excited about the Internet because it offers a real, concrete step toward creating desktop access to information, the so-called 'electronic libraries' that librarians have been talking about for years. The momentum toward creating electronic libraries will accelerate with the introduction of initiatives to create 'information superhighways' capable of bringing tremendous amounts of information directly to the home. The most well-known initiative is NREN, the National Research and Education Network, in the United States

    Abstract
    Presents evidence to suggest that the online world needs the bibliographic skills of librarians but that the term bibliographic control is likely to be associated specifically with libraries and liable to misinterpretation. Suggests that it may be time to start talking about information organization which may be described as having the following 4 aspects: making new information bearing entities known; acquiring such entities at certain points of accumulation; providing name, title and subject access to the entities; and providing for the physical location of copies. Urges librarians rapidly to adapt their skills to this increasing need for information organization

    Abstract
    Describes the rethinking and revision of a course on online searching, at Michigan University, brought about by the proliferation of information services and interface available online. The course now focuses much more on the concepts underlying information searching and their interrelationships, exposes students to a wider variety of information services while still allowing them to develop skills on 1 specific system, and asks students to ne reflective regarding their own searching as well as the environment. The aim of this new version is to help students understand what expert searchers know about searching, their wisdom, by talking about more than file structures and search languages

    Abstract
    The Print-handicapped Libraries Access Network (PLANET) seeks to provide its 6 participating libraries in Victoria, Australia, with access to each other catalogues. By making the catalogues of many alternative format libraries more readily available, it is intended that much better use can be made of the limited stock of titles. The first stage is to link the 6 libraries to the state networked electronic information service, VICNET, and this is nearing completion. The inclusion of the Talking Book Library of the Royal Victoria Institute for the Blind (RVIB Table) will mean that users can select material from it using a wider variety of access points

    Abstract
    International students are enrolling in American colleges and universities in increasing numbers, yet little is known of their communicative experiences on USA campuses. Examines perceptions of intercultural communication competence and adaption in international students studying on an American campus. Participants in the study were 101 international students enrolled in a medium sized university in the Midwest. Results suggest that while the affective and behavioural dimensions of intercultural communication competence are related to students' satisfaction with their communication skills, talking with American students was the single most important factor in perception of communication competency and adjusting to American life. Discusses practical implications of these results for communication instruction

    Abstract
    Points out that one of the main characteristics of written language, especially for people reared in oral cultural milieus, is the inability of the learner to rely on what has always been available: the non-verbal element of communication. Hence a library, even a small one, may be one of the ingredients of literacy that are absolutely essential for success, provided the librarian and the teacher can add the non-verbal element to the written word. Reading alound, popular and traditional music, and talking books can be used for this purpose
