    Abstract
    Considers teleworking in the UK from the perspective of the library and information community the effects of isolation on teleworkers' access to information. Examines the actual and potential roles of libraries, business support services, electronic networks, associations for teleworkers and unions in the provision of information for teleworkers. Concludes that associations for teleworkers and electronic networks are useful sources of information and new contacts. The potential of public libraries could be realized more fully as librarians become skilled in Internet searching. Libraries will become more attractive to teleworkers if the recommendations of the final report of the Public Library Review are implemented

    Abstract
    The aim of the CATRIONA (Cataloguing and Retrieval of Information over Networks Applications) feasibility study was to investigate the technical, organizational and financial requirements for the development of applications software and procedures to enable the cataloguing, calssification and retrieval of documents and other resources over networks such as the Internet. The CATRIONA feasibility study demonstrated that the idea of a distributed catalogue of Internet resources integrated with standard Z39.50 library system OPAC interfaces is already a practical proposition at its most basic level. Proposes that the next step should be a distributed CATRIONA demonstrator project, based on the Scottish University and Research Libraries (SCURL) group of libraries cooperating to catalogue local electronic resources and selected areas of BUBL Subject Trees, but also sufficiently 'open' to encompass other sites, projects and approaches

    Abstract
    The OPAC has developed into an information providing tool capable of many varied tasks. Maps this development. Discusses the interface between the OPAC and the casual or inexperienced user and the expending use of networks. Surveays the growth of OPACs and shows that OPACs have developed a number of features from information retrieval. Assesses areas of further research

    Abstract
    Policy paper prepared by the Centre for Communication and Information Studies, Westminster University, London, for the British Library Board. Reports the results of a study of changes in the provision of electronic information to end users in UK academic libraries, conducted by the Centre for Communication and Information Studies, Westminster University, during the period 1988 to 1992. The period has seen a shift in expenditure from external online information services to CD-ROM, with over 70% of universities either planning or running local CD-ROM networks. There is some evidence of a modest amount of media substitution from printed information services to electronic, including a decline in online expenditure. The Bath Information and Data Service end user service has had a similar impact on alternative access media. The commercial online host market has eluded the end user market, being the most exclusive reserve of librarian mediators. Questions arising from the study include: how appropriate to the users' needs are the new networked services; what feedback and evaluation procedures are required; what is the nature of the support role of libraries in these changing circumstances; what additional resources; how and by whom are end user services to be financed; and how is wider access to database services impacting on ancillary services such as document delivery? In response, CCIS has formulated a research programme to extend the current quantitative work in the area of evaluating end user needs, activities and preferences in relation to information sources

    Abstract
    Reports on the findings of the major study, carried out by the Royal Society, etc. and prompted by the concern felt about the increasing signs of strain in the scientific, technical and medical information systems (STM) and the consequences for technical research. The report is a follow up to the earlier study (BLRDD report 5626) with the aim of covering the trends which have developed since the earlier report was published (online information retrieval, electronic networks, CD-ROM etc.). The study covers: the nature of the UK scientific, technical and medical information system; users of the STM information system; the changing role of libraries and librarians with regard to periodicals, books and other services; economic aspects of the STM information system (research libraries, primary publishing, secondary publishing, and value of scientific research); economic aspects of the STM information system, and perceived problems and potential changes with regard to primary periodicals, electronic periodicals, user interaction, and funding of the services. The data derived from the user survey and the library survey are published in full with analysis. Presents the conclusions and recommendations arising from the study

    Content
    Backgrund to the study: The question of multilingual access to bibliographic databases affects not only searchers in countries in which several languages are spoken such as Switzerland, but also all those who search material in databases containing material in more than one language, which is the case in the majority of scientific or research databases. he growth of networks means that we can easily access catalogues outside our own immediate circle - in another town, another country, another continent. In doing so we encounter problems concerning not only search interfaces, but also concerning subject access or even author access in another language. In France for example, each document, independently of the language in which it has been written, is indexed using a French-language subject heading language. Thus, in order to search by subject headings for documents written in English or German, held in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the researcher from abroad has to master the French language. In theory, the indexer should be able to analyse a document and assign headings in his/her native language, while the user should be able to search in his/her native language. The language of the document itself should have no influence on the language of the subject heading language used for indexing nor on the language used for searching. (Practically speaking of course, there are restrictions, since there is a limit to the number of languages in which subject headings languages could be maintained and thus in which the user may search.) In the example below, we are concerned with three languages: German, French and English. If we can imagine a system in which there are equivalents among subject headings in these three languages, the following scenario may be envisaged: a German-speaking indexer will use German-language subject headings to index all the documents received, regardless of the language in which they are written. The user may search for these documents by entering subject headings in German, but also in French or in English, thanks to the equivalents that have been established, in French or in English without the necessity to know the other languages or the structure of the other SHLs. Ideally, this approach should not be confined to one database, but would allow the different databases to be brought together in virtual system: an English-speaking user in London should be able to search the database of the Deutsche Bibliothek in Frankfurt using English-language headings, and retrieving documents which have been indexed using the German subject headings' list.
