    Abstract
    All information systems should contribute to the competitive position of an organization and should therefore be strategic. Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) is the process of establishing a programme for the implementation and use of information systems so theat the effectiveness of the firm's information resources are optimized and used to support the objectives of the organization as much as possible. SISP involves matching computer applications with the objectives and corporate strategy of the organization. Starts by exploring the nature of a strategic information system and then process to outline the basic steps and features of an SISP. Reviews the criteria to be applied in the selection of an SISP

    Abstract
    Reviews the marketplace for existing current awareness services and uses the main features of these products as standards against which to access 3 new current awareness services: Inside Information; SwetScan; and UnCover. Inside Information, from the British Library Document Supply Centre, provides a short listing of the key features of each article in the world's principal scholarly periodicals. Each reference contains a maximum of 1.500 characters and approximately 1 million references are added to the database each year. SwetScan, from Swets Subscription Service covers 7.000 periodical titles and provides title, ISSN, year-volume, some article names, authors, page numbers, and, if the library is a Swets subscriber, the library's subscription number. An avergae of 111.073 references are added to the database each month. UnCover is a collaborative venture between Blackwells and CARL and offers access to a multidisciplinary database based on the holdings of the participating libraries. UnCover differs from the other 2 services in that it was not originally marketed as a current awarenenss service. UnCover covers 14.000 periodicals representing the holdings of participating libraries together with additional titles for which Blackwells act as subscription agents. The main focus of UnCover is speed of document delivery and the intention is to provide a fax of a document within 24 hours or less (and within the hour if the document is stored on optical disc). Concludes that, if these 3 services are successful and lead to wider availability and use of current awareness services in the academic community, this will have a significant impact on libraries and their relationships with end users

    Abstract
    Management information facilities transform the library management system into a much more effective management tool. Three levels of management can be identified - operational, tactical and strategic - and each of these has its own unique management information needs. Earlier work on the use of management information in libraries and the development of management information systems demonstrates that progress in these areas has been slow. Management information systems comprise three components: facilities for handling ad hoc enquiries; facilities for standard report report generation; and management information modules, or report generators that support the production of user-defined reports. A lsit of standard reports covering acquisitions, cataloguing, circulation control, serials and inter-library loans is provided. The functions of report generators are explored and the nature of enquiry facilities reviewed. Management information tools available in library management systems form a valuable aid in decision making. These should be further exploited and further developed

In implementing TQM it is necessary to establish some basic definitions. SERVQUAL is an instrument which has been widely tested as a means of measuring service quality. Reviews briefly the literature concerned with measuring service quality as a forum in which to explore the concept of service quality

    Abstract
    Examines some of the key concepts concerned with customers and consumer buying behaviour. Explores the concept of customer for library and information services, and notes the roles of users, influencers and deciders. Many library and information services deal with 'internal' customers. In order to offer an effective service to customers, it is important to identify the benefits sought by different groups or segments, and to understand the consumer decision making process which is important in determining 'purchase' bahaviour and the use of the service

    Abstract
    This article revisits the debate concerning controlled and natural indexing languages, as used in searching the databases of the online hosts, in-house information retrieval systems, online public access catalogues and databases stored on CD-ROM. The debate was first formulated in the early days of information retrieval more than a century ago but, despite significant advance in technology, remains unresolved. The article divides the history of the debate into four eras. Era one was characterised by the introduction of controlled vocabulary. Era two focused on comparisons between different indexing languages in order to assess which was best. Era three saw a number of case studies of limited generalisability and a general recognition that the best search performance can be achieved by the parallel use of the two types of indexing languages. The emphasis in Era four has been on the development of end-user-based systems, including online public access catalogues and databases on CD-ROM. Recent developments in the use of expert systems techniques to support the representation of meaning may lead to systems which offer significant support to the user in end-user searching. In the meantime, however, information retrieval in practice involves a mixture of natural and controlled indexing languages used to search a wide variety of different kinds of databases

    Abstract
    Reviews the information systems methodologies that can be used to assist in the structuring of systems projects to create multimedia databases. Examines some of the options with a view to their supporting the design of user interfaces for public access systems. An initial exploration of the systems life cycle is followed by the key stages in any methodology. Describes a range of user centred methodologies, cooperative and participative methodologies and task oriented approaches to design. Introduces an object oriented methodology to the design of a multimedia graphic user interface

    Abstract
    In order to achieve an appropriate level of revenue, CD-ROM database publishers need to attempt to control access to their databases when they are used in a networked environement. This has led to the creation of complex pricing strategies for the networked use of CD-ROM databases. Identifies some of the key issues for pricing of CD-ROM databases and then focuses on the issue of network pricing, using as case studies the network pricing strategies for BIOSIS, SilverPlatter, Dialog OnDisc and Reedbase. Concludes that a stable pricing startegy for networking CD-ROM databases has yet to be achieved but that greater consistency between vendors must be in the best interests of all parties in the information marketplace
