Abstract

Presents a summary of a more detailed study made of evaluation versions of these 2 US software packages, due to appear in 'C and L applications'. The packages are aimed at individual researchers, students and lecturers rather than libraries. Concludes that the cheaper package, EndNote, appears better suited to the students with occasional need for bibliographies, whereas the more complex (and expensive) Pro-Cite would suit a researcher or writer with a high output of professional papers. Pro-Cite could probably also be used by a small library as a means of creating a database

Abstract

Reviews Ovid searching software, a system for searching and manipulating output from bibliographic databases. It allows fields of indexes to be searched, or for terms of a controlled vocabulary to be mapped, provides a variety of display options and permits customisation of system features. Output may be directed to e-mail. Ovid interface with over 80 commercial databases to exploit the features of each. Covers vendor and user profiles; operating environment; user interface, search strategies; display and manipulation of documents; and documentation

Abstract

Overviews database applications in libraries. Explains the 2 basic types of databases, flat-file and relational, outlines the uses and advantages of relationship systems. Librarians can utilise a number of software packages for database management and design a database in cooperation with a programmer. The librarian needs to be involved in the conceptual and external level of database design. Offers advice on finding a database designer. Outlines ideas for library related applications of database software

Abstract

As a cultural institution, the public library is charged with providing resources and services that fit the needs of a particular community and, if space and budgets allow, of serving as a resource and repository of the community's past. To fulfill its mission to the public, the library must attract that public by offering materials and providing opportunities for them to pursue their unique and varied interests and discover new things. By engaging individuals in the identification and preservation of their own personal, digital objects, it may be possible to increase awareness in, and commitment to, community repositories that reflect a community's diversity and that will serve all. A user education program that focuses on the importance of identifying and preserving the information and artifacts that are important, that addresses the technical aspects of preservation, and that creates awareness of the benefits and challenges associated with sharing personal information can result in a community repository that ultimately has more value for both the individual and the community.

Abstract

The availability of powerful indexing and database products with easy Web connections means that libraries able to gather and edit their own data are emancipated from the large vendors. The Oregon State Library staff used the Data Magician translation utility as part of a complex, but speedy, database converison project. The Oregon Index database of approximately 300.000 records was converted from a BRS database host over to the Inmagic WebPublisher system. Describes the planning and action stepts used in producing the Web accessible index database of considerable size. Participants have high ratings to effectiveness of both the translation utility and the database engine

Abstract

On Nov 26, 1997, Research Information Systems released its newest version of the ProCite bibliographic management software. The most notable change to the programme is the retooling for compatibility with Windows 95 and NT. In addition to the Windows 95 upgrade, ProCite added 2 new workforms. These forms allow users to capture information about Web pages and e-mail messages. This latest release builds on the Cite While You Write feature that allows users to link citations in a single manuscript to records in multiple databases. The program simplifies the generation of bibliographies and endnotes while allowing users to create bibliographic databases using 28 distinct workforms. Workforms cover a wide range of materials to patents. While there are a few idiosyncrasies users should be aware of, this product is a solid addition to the librarian's toolkit and should be considered by those libraries that have a need for a small but powerful programme to catalogue resources and create bibliographies

Abstract

Are microcomputers able to support good IRSs? How do they cope with them? What types of IRS are currently available? After explaining the differences between IRSs using micros and IRSs using mainframes, this paper will describe various functions of 'microretrieval' (by which I mean IR on microcomputers) functions, possible criteria for selection, and essential differences between database systems. It will give a short market overview and compare some IRSs currently available (such as LARS, BRS, LIDOS, HYPERCARD, HEUREKA, CICADE, ALLEGRO, etc.) It will also explain how microretrieval could be the kernel of economic, scientific or technical integration and assist in the cooperation between countries with different levels of development

Abstract

Reviews the EndNote Plus software package, one of a growing range of bibliography makers, designed to facilitate the creation of bibliographies by means of word processing software. EndNote Plus can be used to create large, fully formatted bibliographies that can be incorporated automatically into research papers. Alternatively, EndNote Plus bibliographies can be created as independent documents with facilities that provide users with basic search and retrieval tools. EndNote Plus also supports the importing of downloaded data from online databases and other external sources

Abstract

PBS have established themselves as popular software products that enable users to manage the input, storage, retrieval and output of bibliographic references. They can be adapted to accomodate periodical articles, books, book chapters, dissertations, reports and unpublished documents. Focuses on the characteristics, which make a PBS attractive with particular reference to: structural flexibility; retrieval options; input; display; and output formats; and interface related and management related issues. Concludes with a generic list of desirable PBS features

Abstract

Computerized text retrieval and library management systems have not yet taken a desired shape in Indian libraries, though efforts are being made in this direction. Reviews the current situation in Indian libraries by means of a survey of 10 selected indigenous software packages. Briefly discusses the underlying framework and text retrieval and library management facilities in these packages and concludes that CDS/ISIS along with SANJAY with sonme further modifications, might prove to be the most suitable package for most Indian libraries

Abstract

This discussion of Personal Bibliographic Systems (PBS) features deals with microcomputer programs that manage the input, storage, retrieval, and output of bibliographic references. Although various partially overlapping terminologies may be encountered in the literature such programs as EndNote, ProCite, and Reference Manager-three of the most popular PBS-have by now become household names in academic circles. Several dozens of similar programs exist, each with its own peculiar combination of desirable and less appropriate features. The names of over 100 PBS examples are listed in Appendix 2.
