    Abstract
    Reports on an empirical investigation to measure the quality of the information services that are available to the commercial and industrial sectors in Northern Ireland. Examines the quality management practices of the business information providers and evaluates the quality of information and support as perceived by the business community. Develops and tests a new general survey instrument (P-C-P), as an alternative to SERVQUAL, that hat the ability to measure the quality gap that exists between the customers' expectations of these information services and their perceptions of the actual service that is received

    Abstract
    Examines the place of CD-ROMs in academic libraries and in particular the use of network solutions to widen the access to these services. A questionnaire survey was undertaken of academic libraries in the UK, Eire, USA and Canada and the results analysed. 9 UK libraries were selected as case studies for more detailed examinations of the issues involved: in particular the management issues. These case studies were selected to cover a variety of experiences and circumstances. A parallel survey looked at CD-ROM publishing and a questionnaire survey was sent to publishers but the response was not as good as the previous survey. Trends in CD-ROM publishing, including the future of CD-ROM in the views of the publishers and of librarians, suggest that other electronic media may replace CD-ROM for some applications but that CD-ROM is likely to remain a part of hybrid information systems. The networking of CD-ROM services is constrained by the cost, by technical complexity, and by restrictive licensing agreements. Future electronic information services may include regionally or nationally mounted databases accessible over the Internet or over SuperJanet in the UK. Issues such as the electronic library or the virtual library, and document delivery services are likely to gain prominence

    Abstract
    The library technology industry, broadly speaking, shows more affinity toward utility than innovation. Library automation systems are not necessarily exciting technologies, but they are workhorse applications that must support the complex tasks of acquiring, describing, and providing access to materials and services. They represent substantial investments, and their effectiveness is tested daily in the library. But more than efficiency is at stake: These products must be aligned with the priorities of the library relative to collection management, service provision, and other functions.

    Abstract
    Seit den 1970/80er Jahren unterstützen sechs Verbundzentralen die Dienstleistungen der Bibliotheken in Deutschland. Mit lokalen, regionalen und überregionalen Services leisten sie einen wichtigen Beitrag für ein funktionierendes nationales Bibliothekssystem. Neue Technologien und globale Vernetzung verändern jedoch die Informationslandschaft mit hoher Dynamik. Um den Herausforderungen in Zukunft gewachsen zu sein, empfehlen die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) und der Wissenschaftsrat (WR) eine strategische Neuausrichtung und eine Neuordnung der Verbundsysteme.
    Content
    "Empfehlungen zur Optimierung der Informationsinfrastruktur Verbundübergreifende Entwicklung bedarfsorientierter Services Angestrebt werden sollten stringente, verbundübergreifende arbeitsteilige Strukturen bei Betrieb und Entwicklung der gegenwärtigen wie der zukünftigen Dienste, um unnötige Mehrfacharbeit zu vermeiden und die Durchsetzung einheitlicher Standards zu erleichtern. Das ist technisch machbar und organisatorisch auch im föderalen Umfeld denkbar wie andere Beispiele (z.B. DFN) zeigen. Einführung neuer Steuerungsmechanismen Das derzeitige Finanzvolumen der Länder für Informationsservices (Finanzzuweisung an Verbundzentralen) muss erhalten bleiben und weiterhin die den bisherigen Regelungen entsprechenden Steigerungen erfahren. Gleichzeitig müssen behutsam, aber konsequent neue Steuerungsmechanismen eingeführt werden, die die Verbünde im höheren Maße als bisher in die Lage versetzen, neue Entwicklungen bedarfsorientiert aufzugreifen und verlässliche Dienste aufzubauen. Zur Steuerung sollten Aufsichtsgremien im Sinne von "Beiräten" vergleichbar den Beiräten der Informationsdienstleister in der WGL eingesetzt werden. Wege zu einer Neuausrichtung der Verbünde Neben den empfohlenen politisch-administrativen Maßnahmen erscheint ein attraktiv dimensioniertes Förderprogramm der DFG zur "Neuausrichtung überregionaler Informationsservices" und "Weiterentwicklung der Bibliotheksverbünde als Teil der überregionalen Informationsinfrastruktur" [Arbeitstitel] geeignet, den notwendigen Strukturwandel hin zu einem arbeitsteiligen, verbundübergreifenden Diensteangebot anzustoßen und zu koordinieren."

    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
    Report results of a survey of abstracting and indexing services, published in CD-ROM format, by a sample of 109 secondary service publishers. One of the main aims of the survey was to determine the impact that provision of secondary services as CD-ROM databases has had on other product printed and online formats, especially in terms of the generation of income. Confidential information regarding income from the 3 specific product formats was obtained from UK and US publishers of CD-ROM databases, for the years 1987 to 1992, with 1992 figures provided as an estimate. Presents a detailed breakdown, expressed as percentages of total income derived from each of the 3 formats, for 18 specific databases, grouped according to perceived migration characteristics. Other information includes: price comparison of the 3 product formats; use of third parties for CD-ROM production; lease and licensing agreements; and the implication for the UK research associations

    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
    Report of a project commissioned by British Library Research and Development Department (BLRDD) from Electronic Publishing Services Ltd designed to provide factual input about electronic publishing in the UK for a worlking party convened by the British Library as part of a follow up to the Information 2000 exercise, completed in 1991. The working party will consider the possible impacts on the library community of the development of electronic publishing. For the purpose of this study, electronic publishing was defined as including: online services (including videotex); magnetic tape services; magnetic disk products; CD-ROM and other optical disc products; ROM cards; and electronic periodicals. The main conclusions were: that the dominant position of Reuters and other financial information services means that online information retrieval still accounts for the vast majority of electronic publishing revenues; that CD-ROM is experiencing high growth, but growth from a small base and coming later than predicted; that network publishing is still in the experimental stage and almost entirely funded from the public sector; that ROM cards, which provide the medium for hand held electronic reference books are still present in the market and represent the only mass market channel; and that other electronic media (magnetic tape, magnetic disk, analogue videodisc) are not seen as having a significant part to play

    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
    Reports results of a study to monitor information activities of selected UK public libraries and special libraries and to collect enquiry data from 7 different information services (2 public reference libraries; 2 public lending libraries; a tourist information centre; and 2 special libraries). Data was categorized according to length of answer, mode of enquiring; type of enquiry; and subject of enquiry. Results indicated that the special libraries had longer enquiries and received more by telephone, fax transmission and letter than the public libraries. Furthermore, they made most use of computerized information services. Business and commerce enquiries were most freqeuntly asked at the public reference libraries. Answering community information and children's enquiries were the common tasks of public lending libraries. Minimal overlap accured in the provision of tourist information

    Abstract
    Provides information for people who want (or need) to know what the SGML is and want to make use of it. Gives a fairly detailed description of what SGML is, why it exists, and provides a list of SGML players who are actively involved in either developing tools, providing services, offering consultancy or enganging in research for SGML. Describes the SGML work undertaken at Hatfield Polytechnic as part of Project Quartet funded by the British Library Research and Development Dept. The results and findings conclude that SGML forms a strong backbone for present and future document handling systems

    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
