- Abstract
- Library information service assessment studies can help the reference librarian to form an accurate judgement on the library's structure and organization in terms of: efficiency; effectiveness; and cost/benefit ratio. These 3 assessment criteria can be applied to the following areas: staff; users; user requests; answers provided; library information service potential; and collection and documentation resources. Each of these areas yields further sub-categories for evaluation. Data collection methods depend on the end purpose of the assessment study, but may include the issue of questionnaires to librarians and users, and non invasive observation of user activities. The studies can be unpopular, as they may result in cuts in staff or services

- Abstract
- In some areas of librarianship, such as cataloguing and subject classification, there are established rulebooks to guide librarians in their work. Information librarians however have no such aid; their metier is more an art than a profession, since reader queries may concern any aspect of human knowledge. After analysing hundreds of information library reader requests; G. Jahoda and colleagues have sought to formulate self-operating rules for interpreting such queries, utilising the 2 basic elements - what is 'known' and what is 'required' - contained in each request. Lists the categories into which each element breaks down. When presented in matrix form these can indicate the type of reference work to consult to resolve any reader queries

- Abstract
- An awareness exists among Italian librarians of the need for an established code of ethics for library reference services. Considers the principles that such a code should incorporate; the US Commitment to Information services, for example, affirms users' rights of access to library books and resources, regardless of content and opinions expressed. Censoship is opposed and people are not barred from library use for ethnis, social or religious reasons. An ethical code would require library staff to be impartial, give attention and respect to users, allocate time properly, and avoid prejudice. Discusses the problems of library ethics which arise when user requests relate to sensitive topics e.g. euthansia, cocaine refining

- Abstract
- Considers the 2 conflicting phenomena of disintermediation and information overload, which in the Internet era respectively pose a threat and offer an opportunity to the librarian and information science profession. User-orientated commercial products and services are tending to promote user information autonomy; but, more positively, the online electronic publication explosion has impelled librarians to cretae Net information resource catalogues, and the IT community to devise novel Internet access tools. Librarians will thus have a useful role to fulfil in both the free and fee-paying E-information sectors as cybrarians or information managers

- Abstract
- Bibliography' s claim to be a discipline is founded on its specific and exclusive concerns with knowledge organization structures and with the logical tools needed for indexing procedures. Discusses in a historical context the theoretical bases of bibliography, exploring such themes as the problems of author/reader communication and the abandonment of university accepted document classification criteria. Suggests that probably the only way to restore bibliographic communication is to adopt cognitive and regulatory 'maps' based on literary communication

- Abstract
- Looks at how new information search and retrieval technology is creating the so-called desktop library. Current full text retrieval (FTR) systems have extended search operations to the whole content of an electronic document. Research can be not simply Boolean but also by natural language processing (NLP). A matter of concern to librarians is the ability of the latest FTR search angines to construct automatic indexes. In the field of network information discovery and retrieval (NIDR) the 2 most important protocols for librarians are the international SR / Z39.50 standard and http. Describes the differing operations of FTR and NIDR as they affect the end-user

- Abstract
- Presents the basic ideas underlying fuzzy set theory, developed by Zadeh in the 1960s, which has important appplications in information retrieval and documentation. A fuzzy information retrieval system is much less restrictive that a Boolean model, since results can be arranged according to degree of similarity. Another application of the theory concerns the use of linguistic quantifiers; this type of solution is well adapted to retrieval systems designed for direct operation by end-users. Illustraes with examples fuzzy set algebra, operation, relationships, logic and reasoning

- Abstract
- The Stuttgart University of Library and Information Studies has collected interesting data from a questionnaire based study of CDS/ISIS retrieval system application. Replies from 34 worldwide users, all with Internet access, suggest that CDS/ISIS is mostly used with stand-alone PCs, and that there is much interest in the possible use of CDS/ISIS on UNIX platforms. In 19 cases, CDS/ISIS application s relate to library functions, while in the areas of technology, medicine and the environment most databases are CDS/ISIS-structured and designed for local or internal use. The study also provides data on areas such as CDS/ISIS user groups and development programmes

- Abstract
- Looks at current research into the cognitve aspects of information search and retrieval by library users. Illustrates the theoretical approach to indexing procedures, developed from a cognitive viewpoint, and outlines the basics of cognitive epistemology. Discusses the work of psychologist W. Kintsch and linguist T.A. van Dijk on the mechanics of information acquisition, text comprehension and text production. Analyses the linguistic theory of meaning, and summarises the main criticisms of the cognitive approach, as propounded by B. Frohmann, B.C. Brookes, R.L. Derr and D. Rudd, among others

- Abstract
- Describes the work of mediaeval librarians such as Paulaus Melissus and looks at current problems in cataloguing bibliographies. One of these is that the material used does not have the precise algorithmic format required by information technology; today's electronic cataloguing methods are merely a translation of the former manual ones e.g. book title keywords, and have similar defects. Analyses the 3 basi features of books i.e. text, text edition and materials used, and criticises traditional indexing methods

- Abstract
- Proposes a new experimental methodology for evaluating the results of library research from the user's viewpoint. Illustrates the theory by comparing the efficacy of information retrieved from 2 document catalogues, identical except that one is alphabetical and the other numerical/verbal. The methodology utilises the concept of 3 dependent variables: 'promising references retrieved' by the researcher; 'documents read'; and 'documents cited'. Claims that the retrieval effectiveness of the techniques outlined compares favourably with that of W.S. Cooper's methodology

- Abstract
- Replies to some criticisms of the GADA (Manuale per la gestione automatizzata delle descrizioni archivistiche / Archival Descriptions Automation Handbook) the archival theory underlying it, and GADA's application in CDS/ISIS. Discusses the relationship between library, archival and information science; archival search via topics/subjects as well as by institution; and the relation between the ISAD(G) descriptive standard and MARC AMC. Reviews the impact of computers on archival theory and practice

- Abstract
- In relation to indexing, one of the chief implications of cognitive epistemology is the necessity for redefining knowledge representation concepts for information filing and retrieval purposes. Such a redefinition involves abandoning the traditional, hierarchical, closed-structure classification model. Considers the following in detail: a semiotic critique of classification principles; Ranganathan's classification theory; Ranganathan and cognitive epistemology; and some reflections on the DDC and the Bliss Bibliographic Classification
