    Abstract
    Presents the findings of the South Ayrshire Libraries OPen Learning and the Internet project, Sep 1997 to Oct 1998. The objective was to demonstrate how open learning materials available on the Internet could be integrated with the provision of local open learning resources to provide an enhanced learning environment in public libraries. The main areas of concentration within the project were information skills support to public library users and the provision of WWW based independent materials to learners. The organisation and retrieval of Web based resources for local use was a major issue throughout the project. Recommends the adoption of Dublin Core metadata standards, the connection of databases of resources with searchable wen pages, and the development of thesauri of terms used to index the Web based resources locally. Sstaff training, and the new skills which will need to be developed, were identified as issues. Cost was also identified as a related issue, extending to issues such as access to open learning material and the Internet

    Abstract
    Reports a study of undergraduate students' use of computer-based information retrieval services in relation to their cognitive and learning styles. Includes a survey of staff at Sheffield University, UK on their use of computer databases and the extend to which undergraduates are made aware of these services. Results show that undergraduate use is low and varies greatly between students of differnt faculties. Student searching behaviour was found to be basic and their performance inadequate. Significant correlation's between cognitive and learning styles and search behaviour were found. Computer-assisted learning (CAL) packages were developed and customised for 3 departments. Guidelines were drawn up based on the project's findings for introducing a computerised information sources programme into the undergraduate curriculum and preparing CAL teaching packages on information skills

    Abstract
    Describes the final phase of the work on the ELINOR (Electronic Library INformation Online Retrieval) project at De Montfort University, Leicester, which concluded in 1996. ELINOR was 2 phase project with 3 overall goals: to create a practical pilot system based on a commercial product (Excalibur EFS); to investigate the expansion of a small scale electronic library to a larger, distributed library system; and to develop a more efficient and effective means of accessing and sharing resources within a networked multi campus institution. ELINOR was successful in demonstrating that libraries may conveniently digitize and supply smal collections of high demand materials over a campus network in text anf TIFF format. Operational conditions have so far indicated that the barriers are not technological but involve copyright, use issues and sustainability

    Abstract
    Reviews the basic techniques involving genetic algorithms and their application to 2 problems in information retrieval: the generation of equifrequent groups of index terms; and the identification of optimal query and term weights. The algorithm developed for the generation of equifrequent groupings proved to be effective in operation, achieving results comparable with those obtained using a good deterministic algorithm. The algorithm developed for the identification of optimal query and term weighting involves fitness function that is based on full relevance information

    Abstract
    State of the art review of hypertext systems in use in UK libraries. Systems include public access point of information (POI) systems that provide guidance to users of local resources, and networked document retrieval systems, such as WWW, that enable users to access texts stored on machines linked by the Internet. Particular emphasis is placed on those systems that are produced inhouse by the libraries in which they are used. The review is based on a series of telephone or face to face interviews conducted with representatives of those organizations that a literature review and mailed questionnaire survey identified as current users of hypertext. Considers issues relating to system development and usability, and presents a set of appropriate guidelines for the designers of future systems. Concludes that: the principle application of hypertext systems in UK libraries is in the implementation of POI systems; that such development is most advanced in the academic sector; and that such development is set to increase in tandem with use of the WWW

    Abstract
    Describes the results of a project to develop conflation tools for searching databases of Latin text. Reports on the results of a questionnaire sent to 64 users of Latin text retrieval systems. Describes a Latin stemming algorithm that uses a simple longest match with some recoding but differs from most stemmers in its use of 2 separate suffix dictionaries for processing query and database words. Describes a retrieval system in which a user inputs the principal component of their search term, these components are stemmed and the resulting stems matched against the noun based and verb based stem dictionaries. Evaluates the system, describing its limitations, and a more complex system

    Abstract
    Over the past 50 years, a variety of language-related capabilities has been developed in machine translation, information retrieval, speech recognition, text summarization, and so on. These applications rest upon a set of core techniques such as language modeling, information extraction, parsing, generation, and multimedia planning and integration; and they involve methods using statistics, rules, grammars, lexicons, ontologies, training techniques, and so on. It is a puzzling fact that although all of this work deals with language in some form or other, the major applications have each developed a separate research field. For example, there is no reason why speech recognition techniques involving n-grams and hidden Markov models could not have been used in machine translation 15 years earlier than they were, or why some of the lexical and semantic insights from the subarea called Computational Linguistics are still not used in information retrieval.
    This picture will rapidly change. The twin challenges of massive information overload via the web and ubiquitous computers present us with an unavoidable task: developing techniques to handle multilingual and multi-modal information robustly and efficiently, with as high quality performance as possible. The most effective way for us to address such a mammoth task, and to ensure that our various techniques and applications fit together, is to start talking across the artificial research boundaries. Extending the current technologies will require integrating the various capabilities into multi-functional and multi-lingual natural language systems. However, at this time there is no clear vision of how these technologies could or should be assembled into a coherent framework. What would be involved in connecting a speech recognition system to an information retrieval engine, and then using machine translation and summarization software to process the retrieved text? How can traditional parsing and generation be enhanced with statistical techniques? What would be the effect of carefully crafted lexicons on traditional information retrieval? At which points should machine translation be interleaved within information retrieval systems to enable multilingual processing?

    Abstract
    Report of a 2 year research project on symbols carried out by Reading University, Department of Typography and Graphic Communication. The research is divided into 2 parts: the perception of symbols and their legibility or discriminability; and methods of retrieval of symbols from image databases containing symbols. The aim of the research is to provide a useful basis for future work on the automatic recognition of symbols and their components and on methods if image enhancement

    Abstract
    Discusses articles in which indexing of image collections receives virtually no mention and continues with comments about articles in which indexing receives special attention. Describes four major indexing systems: Library of Congress, AAT, ICONCLASS and TELCLASS. Discusses new indexing approaches where the use of descriptive words is being replaced by other methods of retrieval. Describes indexing by content (attempting to match an input image to a database collection) and by using a visual thesaurus. Raises questions about indexing for various kinds of collections and discusses indexing philosophy

    Abstract
    View based searching and multi view searching using HIBROWSE proposes a new paradigm for information retrieval from bibliographic databases and database management systems. The paradigm replaces command line and form based interaction with query specification and interaction which requires the user to identify views relating to query facets of the subject of their query. Attempted to apply techniques from human-computer interaction design in the development, construction and usability evaluation of a view based searching system for a very large bibliographic database. As the development of the HIBROWSE system had been in progress before usability became a major concern, as well as the class of system being developed, greater progress towards improved usability was made by adopting a less structured development life-cycle. Examined the usefulness of a number of usability evaluation methods in the context of trying to determine the usability of designs in interactive information retrieval systems. Measurement of the subjective usability of prototypes reinforced the finding of users' difficulties in forming a useful account of the system behaviour and functionality from the training material provided, highlighted some aspects of the system that could be improved, and the greater usability of the HIBROWSE prototypes over an extant commercial bibliographic database system

    Abstract
    The SAC Subcommittee on Subject Relationships/Reference Structures was authorized at the 1995 Midwinter Meeting and appointed shortly before Annual Conference. Its creation was one result of a discussion of how (and why) to promote the display and use of broader-term subject heading references, and its charge reads as follows: To investigate: (1) the kinds of relationships that exist between subjects, the display of which are likely to be useful to catalog users; (2) how these relationships are or could be recorded in authorities and classification formats; (3) options for how these relationships should be presented to users of online and print catalogs, indexes, lists, etc. By the summer 1996 Annual Conference, make some recommendations to SAC about how to disseminate the information and/or implement changes. At that time assess the need for additional time to investigate these issues. The Subcommittee's work on each of the imperatives in the charge was summarized in a report issued at the 1996 Annual Conference (Appendix A). Highlights of this work included the development of a taxonomy of 165 subject relationships; a demonstration that, using existing MARC coding, catalog systems could be programmed to generate references they do not currently support; and an examination of reference displays in several CD-ROM database products. Since that time, work has continued on identifying term relationships and display options; on tracking research, discussion, and implementation of subject relationships in information systems; and on compiling a list of further research needs.

    Abstract
    Final report of a British Library supported conducted at University College, London, computer science department, the aim of which was to build a demonstration and test bed facility for online access to a large electronic library of multimedia documents. The project was a pilot experiment in the use of a database of compound documents (text and images) in the Open Document Architecture format. The database used is part of the contents of information in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Discusses the overall view of the project with particular reference to the WAIS information retrieval server which was developed and used

    Abstract
    Reports on a British Library Research and Innovation Centre supported examination of Current Awareness Services combined with Individual Article Supply (CASIAS). Reports 2 surveys of the academic research community at Aston University, UK, which: provided data about the usage levels of locally available services, and information about users' attitudes to, and use of, services, their reactions and resistance to CASIAS services in general, their general patterns of literature use, and their ideal services. Discusses the implications of their provision for both libraries and service providers

    Abstract
    Databases of historical texts are increasingly becoming available for end user searching via online or CD-ROM databases. Many of the words in these databases are spelt differently from today with resultant loss of retrieval. The project evaluated a range of techniques that can suggest historical variants of modern language query words, the work deriving from earlier work on spelling correction

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study of the needs of management researchers in relation to their consumption and use of information. A profile of the management researcher was drawn up based on a questionnaire survey of the views of 404 researchers, mostly at PhD level, studying at 53 different institutions in the UK. Results highlighted the importance of periodicals and the English language orientation of researchers, who appear to place little significance on continental European literature as a contribution to the resolution of their research problems

    Abstract
    After a short outline of problems, possibilities and difficulties of systematic information retrieval on the Internet and a description of efforts for development in this area, a specification of the terminology for this report is required. Although the process of retrieval is generally seen as an iterative process of browsing and information retrieval and several important services on the net have taken this fact into consideration, the emphasis of this report lays on the general retrieval tools for the whole of Internet. In order to be able to evaluate the differences, possibilities and restrictions of the different services it is necessary to begin with organizing the existing varieties in a typological/ taxonomical survey. The possibilities and weaknesses will be briefly compared and described for the most important services in the categories robot-based WWW-catalogues of different types, list- or form-based catalogues and simultaneous or collected search services respectively. It will however for different reasons not be possible to rank them in order of "best" services. Still more important are the weaknesses and problems common for all attempts of indexing the Internet. The problems of the quality of the input, the technical performance and the general problem of indexing virtual hypertext are shown to be at least as difficult as the different aspects of harvesting, indexing and information retrieval. Some of the attempts made in the area of further development of retrieval services will be mentioned in relation to descriptions of the contents of documents and standardization efforts. Internet harvesting and indexing technology and retrieval software is thoroughly reviewed. Details about all services and software are listed in analytical forms in Annex 1-3.

    Abstract
    Reports results of a series of questionnaire surveys, conducted between Sep 1994 and Sep 1996, to determine: the experiences of students with regard to use of libraries on postgraduate distance learning programmes: arrangements made by course providers for library use; perception by university libraries of their role in distance learning; and ways in which public libraries support distance learning students. The report is preceded by a literature review (UK, North America and Australia) of the role of the library in distance learning

    Abstract
    Addresses the problems of content retrieval in the construction of pictorial database management systems. Presents a generalisable architecture for the effective identification of specific pictures from a large collection and describes prototype system based on this architecture successfully implemented. The architecture consists of 3 main components: picture description; picture indexing and filing, and picture retrieval. The description of pictures is facilitated by using the main semantic concepts employed in the entity-attribute-relationship model. The chief function of the picture indexing and filing component is to convert the logical representations into a relational data format to prepare for subsequent processing initiated by picture queries
